Chapter 136 Probability of Success

Dr. Chen did not look at Liao Yuanbai, but concentrated on looking at the things in his hands. After a while, he said, "Dr. Liao, we haven't researched the pheromone of the patient's DNA yet, but soon..." With that said, he handed a string of data to Liao Yuanbai.

Looking at the data in his hand, Liao Yuanbai tapped on the table lightly, frowning.It seems to be thinking about something, and it seems to be thinking about something.

"We can't go on like this." Liao Yuanbai suddenly said this sentence, "Originally, our experiment has a low chance of success. I think you all know it. We have too few specimens for antibodies, and we need a little more. " Speaking of this, Liao Yuanbai paused for a moment, looked at the two of them and said, "And I think this should be regarded as a genetic mutation, and it is not born with the patient. It should be after encountering certain things. This has immunity. We can start from this aspect, and maybe we can research new things."

Liao Yuanbai put down the data in his hand, thought for a while, "I have to go and see that patient, if the patient is willing, that would be the best."

"But Dr. Liao, even so, the patient's willingness is still very low." Dr. Chen held his glasses with his hands, and a gleam of light bloomed in his eyes, "Dr. Liao, think about it, the patient has not systematically studied If you go to talk to him about this matter, the other party will probably drive you away directly."

"There is no other way now. If the success rate of this experiment is to be improved, we must go to see the patient. It is best to find out whether he has suspected signs of rabies before." Liao Yuanbai said here After a pause, "We can see from his cells that he even carries the rabies virus. But most of the virus has been cleaned up, that is to say, the patient must have done something before. After the gene mutation, Antibodies to rabies virus were produced."

Dr. Chen listened to Liao Yuanbai's words, and did not refute Liao Yuanbai immediately, but while listening, he thought about how much Liao Yuanbai's words were right.

"But if we want to study this, our research process will be much more difficult." After listening to Liao Yuanbai's words, Dr. Chen said with a very serious face, "After all, this is not a good thing to study. If it is faster, Maybe it can be researched in one or two years, if it is slower, it will be possible in ten or twenty years." He looked at Liao Yuanbai, and he didn't quite understand why Liao Yuanbai insisted on researching this thing.

Why do you want to do this antibody experiment when you can do genetic engineering experiments directly?He didn't understand what Liao Yuanbai's purpose was.

In fact, Liao Yuanbai knew that if he just did the genetic engineering experiment, the chance of success would not be high, but rather low.But if we understand how the patient's antibodies are formed, then the experiment will go much smoother.Perhaps, it won't be long before the results can be produced.

So he wanted to ask the patient what he had done while he was still in the capital.Of course, the patient will definitely not remember it so clearly, but Liao Yuanbai can make reasonable guesses or even inferences based on what the patient said.

As long as the correct steps can be deduced, the experiment is half done.It's not that Dr. Chen next to him doesn't know this, but he's just too anxious.I want the result too much, so I ignore these necessary elements.Liao Yuanbai thought for a while before saying, "Dr. Chen, this is necessary, there is no way. Although we are reluctant to continue to study this antibody, we still have to study it."

When he said this, Liao Yuanbai smoothed out the materials in his hands one by one, and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Isn't this what our scientific research dogs are like? If we do experiments without drawing the final inference, I'm afraid the experiments will be difficult." It's hard to succeed."

"Okay." Dr. Chen nodded, "Since Dr. Liao has already made up his mind, I will definitely not stop it. However, I wonder if Dr. Liao can take me to see that patient?" About this patient He is also very curious about being able to produce antibodies against the rabies virus.

According to normal inference, it is impossible for the human body to produce antibodies to the rabies virus.Even if it is a genetic mutation, it is impossible to produce antibodies to the rabies virus so quickly.Or is this person different from normal people?

It doesn't make sense, this antibody can resist or even clear the rabies virus.But why did anticancer drugs show a countervailing attitude?Of course, that doesn't mean it's impossible for everyone to develop antibodies.Because of individual differences, there is still a chance of antibodies.But the chances of being met by them are a little too high?

Dr. Chen seems to be very interested in this patient who can produce antibodies. He has been engaged in biology for many years, and he seems to have never seen such a strange phenomenon.In other words, because the previous level of technology is somewhat different from the present.Although this antibody had been developed before, it was not known.When Liao Yuanbai wanted to see this patient, he definitely wanted to go with him.

Liao Yuanbai looked at Dr. Chen, and found that Dr. Chen still seemed to have a smile on his face. It seemed that Dr. Chen really wanted to see this patient with him.After thinking about it, Liao Yuanbai said, "Well, I'll contact you first. How about you go with me after the patient agrees?"

He is now thinking about how to get some words from the patient's mouth that are useful for the current research.

Dr. Chen nodded, as long as Liao Yuanbai is willing to take him there, it is enough. As for other matters, they can be discussed.

So Liao Yuanbai went out and called Director Guo.He didn't know who to turn to now, but after thinking about it, it was better to go to Director Guo.After all, Director Guo is currently one of the people who has the most contact with patients. Moreover, he has hardly seen patients, so Director Guo needs to take him there.If he went alone, he might be thrown out as a liar.

When Director Guo received the call, he was arranging work.Because not long after the incident was settled last time, the media swarmed out like cats smelling fishy.Director Guo has been busy dealing with the media recently, and he is tired enough.Seeing the call from Liao Yuanbai, he didn't dare to neglect it. After answering the call, Director Guo asked softly, "Little Liao, what do you want from me?"

Liao Yuanbai could hear the tiredness in Director Guo's voice, so his voice became softer.He pursed his lips and said, "Director Guo is like this. The experiment on my side has reached a point. It is very important for this experiment to ask the patient to find out whether he has suffered from other diseases. , so I hope Director Guo can take us to see that patient."

"What?" Director Guo was taken aback, thinking that something new had happened.Originally, this incident had already exhausted him physically and mentally. If there was another incident, he might really be overwhelmed.Rubbing his brows, he asked exhaustedly with almost no strength, "Mr. Liao, do you have any new discoveries over there, or are patients not suitable for this drug?"

"No." Liao Yuanbai could hear the helplessness in Director Guo's voice, and he said with a smile, "It's about some research in other fields, which has nothing to do with medicine. Regarding this, Director Guo, please rest assured. "

"That's it." Director Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Is it because of the antibody?" He thought, Liao Yuanbai went to that patient because of the antibody. It seems that besides the antibody, he also There is no other thing that can make Liao Yuanbai care so much.

"That's right." Liao Yuanbai said softly on the phone, "It's indeed about the antibody, but I don't know if Director Guo is free. If not, it's okay to send someone over." I didn't pay much attention to this matter, but I knew it just by listening to Director Guo's voice.It seems that the director Guo doesn't want to see that patient again.He didn't want to force others to make things difficult, so let Director Guo send someone over to take him there.

Director Guo hesitated for a moment. This was the first time he hesitated facing Liao Yuanbai, probably because the patient really made him speechless, or maybe there was something wrong with the patient's attitude.All in all, Director Guo never wanted to meet that patient again.

"Well, I'll ask my assistant to take you there." Director Guo couldn't refuse Liao Yuanbai's request, so he asked his assistant to accompany Liao Yuanbai to the hospital.Although the assistant is also reluctant, but there is no way, after all, he is also his immediate boss, isn't it.

After instructing his assistant, Director Guo started busy with his own affairs again.After Liao Yuanbai hung up the phone, he said to Dr. Chen, "I'll go to see the patient first. It seems that the patient is not a very gentle person. At least... From Director Guo's tone, it can be heard that the patient seems to be still Pretty vicious."

"That's it." Dr. Chen doesn't like to talk to unreasonable people, especially when he meets such unreasonable people.

After thinking about it, in order to avoid getting angry, he decided not to go to the hospital.

The next day, when the assistant came to pick up Liao Yuanbai, he only took Liao Yuanbai away, leaving behind two doctors.Everyone along the way, the assistants reminded Liao Yuanbai that the patient surnamed Sun was very unreasonable, even now.Tell him to be more careful, Liao Yuanbai naturally nodded.He knew that the assistant reminded him because of his kindness. When he walked to the hospital, Liao Yuanbai came to the ward under the leadership of the assistant.

There is no one else staying in this ward, and it is almost becoming the exclusive ward of this patient surnamed Sun.His family members were still taking care of him, but the assistant walked over and said with a half smile, "Uncle Sun, are you feeling better recently?"

"What's the matter?" He sounded very angry, and he glanced at the assistant, "What's the matter with your medicine? Didn't I take the medicine according to your instructions? It didn't work at all .” Speaking of this, he seemed to want to curse again.

The assistant was about to speak, Liao Yuanbai patted him on the shoulder lightly and shook his head at him, obviously he wanted to speak by himself.

"Hello, my surname is Liao, and I'm studying for a Ph.D. at Mills University." Liao Yuanbai looked at the forty-something man in front of him, and found that he seemed to be in good spirits.It's just that the eyebrows and eyes are too cloudy, and there is even a hint of treacherous temperament.When he was looking at the patient in front of him, the patient was also looking at him.

"What kind of university is Mills University? I haven't heard of it." The patient looked at Liao Yuanbai very rudely, "Which one are you?"

"I've already said that my surname is Liao. I came to you today to ask you something." Seeing that the person lying on the hospital bed was not very cooperative, and even had an arrogant tone and a bad attitude, Liao Yuanbai didn't have the heart to ask What happened to him.There was a sudden pain between his brows, and he jumped up and down, as if he was about to explode.

"What are you bringing someone here for?" This time the patient looked at the assistant, not Liao Yuanbai, "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, I only became like this after taking your medicine. .Do you want to renege on your debts or something? Believe it or not, I will complain to the media immediately."

The assistant rolled his eyes, he didn't even bother to deal with this psychopath now.I really thought that something serious happened to me, didn't I tell him all about it, it's fine to take it according to the treatment schedule, and I was surprised all day long.He even began to have some doubts, whether this person wanted to extort money.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Liao Yuanbai licked his lips, sat down, looked at the patient and said, "Don't worry, we are not here to ask about the illness. In fact, this anticancer drug was invented by me. Yes, probably when it was just invented, I didn’t expect some unexpected things to happen.” When he said this, Liao Yuanbai looked at the patient, and it was obvious that the patient had already begun to show signs of getting angry.

Liao Yuanbai made a gesture to signal the patient not to interrupt his speech, and he continued, "We found a very interesting phenomenon in your body."

When talking about scientific research issues, the corners of Liao Yuanbai's mouth moved up a few times unconsciously, as if he was immersed in his own world. "You have produced an antibody in your body, but this antibody is not due to a genetic relationship, but a genetic mutation."

"What do you want to explain?" The patient looked at Liao Yuanbai angrily, with as ugly an expression as he wanted.

Liao Yuanbai continued to smile and said, "It is precisely because of this suddenly mutated antibody that ordinary anti-cancer drugs have no effect in your body. It may even have the opposite effect, but you don't have to worry. We have already dealt with this issue. It's perfectly solved, I'm here to find you now because of the antibody itself in your body."

"Because we haven't reached a conclusion yet, I want to ask if you have done anything recently?" Liao Yuanbai thought for a while, and then continued, "Or, have you ever participated in any clinical trials? ?”

"No." The patient's expression is now very ugly. He believes that Liao Yuanbai is the one who came to find fault. His relatives also have ugly expressions. Something? Don't talk about giving money, but also come to us with questions, what exactly do you want, do you want to force our grandson to death?"

"..." Why is it so unreasonable?Liao Yuanbai was a little dumbfounded, does this have anything to do with forcing him to death?He just wanted to inquire about what the patient had done to cause the gene mutation.It seems that now it is not only impossible to ask, but it may even stimulate the patient's emotions.Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai rubbed his eyebrows, not knowing what to say.

The assistant said loudly at this time, "You guys understand, we are not here to trouble you, but to ask if you have done anything before..." Although the assistant didn't know what Liao Yuanbai wanted to do, What, but he also knew that it was impossible for Liao Yuanbai to trouble the patient.

Perhaps because of the loud voice of the patient, people from several nearby wards came to watch.Facing so many people, Liao Yuan's bald head still felt a little painful.He looked at the pair of eyes looking at him, sighed, and asked straightforwardly, "Mr. Sun, let me just say this. We found an element in your antibody that can eliminate rabies virus, so I The purpose of coming this time is to ask if you have ever been bitten by a large dog before."

"Huh?" The patient was stunned for a moment, and the family members of the patient who were still talking were also stunned.Not to mention this matter, they really forgot that a few years ago, this patient seemed to have been bitten by a big dog.

"Yes..., I was bitten." The patient was stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses and said, "You mean, I got rabies?"

"So did you get rabies vaccine after being bitten?" Liao Yuanbai looked at the patient, as if he wanted to know something.The patient shook his head, "No way, I thought there was nothing wrong with the dog at the time, not to mention that the bite wound was not serious, so I didn't get rabies vaccination." Speaking of this, the patient became excited, "Doctor, I Did you really have rabies?"

"No." Liao Yuanbai shook his head, "Didn't I just say that you have an antibody in your body that has almost eliminated the rabies virus. I just want to know, after you were bitten by a dog, did you recover?" Did you do anything special?"

"A special event?" The patient lay on the bed and recalled it for a long time, seeing that the patient seemed not to be making any noise, and the people who had been watching the scene slowly dispersed.

"No, I didn't do anything." The patient said firmly, "The wound bitten by the dog was not big, and I didn't take care of it. Could it be fine by itself? Why, it was raised by the family. Can you get rabies if your dog bites you?" The patient opened his eyes wide and looked at Liao Yuanbai in disbelief.

"Of course." It seemed that he couldn't hear any useful news from the patient's mouth. He smiled at the patient and said, "Not only wild dogs, but even the pet dogs at home will be bitten. We have to get the rabies vaccine in time." Liao Yuanbai let out a bad breath, "Since Mr. Sun doesn't know, then we won't disturb Mr. Sun's rest."

After winking at the assistant, Liao Yuanbai retreated from the ward first.Seeing those people outside the ward staring at him one by one, Liao Yuanbai still felt a little uncomfortable.

The assistant seemed to be talking to them inside, and then walked out of the ward after a while.When he came out, the assistant looked exhausted. "Mr. Liao, they are too difficult to deal with." The assistant said a little dumbfounded, "I don't know what to say, and I still want to ask for money."

"Let's go." Liao Yuanbai didn't hear what he wanted, so he had no choice but to look for it by himself.

When he returned to the laboratory, Dr. Chen came to ask him if he had gained anything today.Liao Yuanbai shook his head, "We still need to find the answer by ourselves, the patients themselves don't know what's going on."

"Okay." Dr. Chen was not surprised at all, since he knew the general information of the patient, he knew that Liao Yuanbai asked for nothing.After all, such a person may not even know why he has rabies, so how could he know why he has antibodies to the rabies virus in his body.

"How's the research going?" After Liao Yuanbai changed his clothes, he walked to the experimental equipment, took the experimental equipment handed over by Dr. Chen, and prepared to continue the antibody experiment.

"Stable, but there are no breakthrough discoveries." When Dr. Chen answered Liao Yuanbai, his expression was rather helpless.If it continues at this speed, it will be strange if we can find out how the antibody mutated.Liao Yuanbai looked at the experimental equipment while doing the experiment familiarly according to the steps, and said, "From tomorrow onwards, we will combine the genetic engineering experiment and the pathological experiment."

When he said this, Liao Yuanbai's tone of wearing a mask seemed to become a little weird, "There will be no results if you continue. It's better to take a gamble. If it succeeds, then the probability of our experiment's success is 80.00% % five, or even higher."

"Okay." Dr. Chen didn't speak. Liao Yuanbai was originally the leader of this experiment.Now that Liao Yuanbai said so, they just do what Liao Yuanbai said.As for other things, there is no need to think so much for the time being.What's more, he has no better suggestion than Liao Yuanbai's suggestion now.

After nearly a month of experiments at Jinghua University, Liao Yuanbai finally received a call from Dean Liao.At this time, Liao Yuanbai was concentrating on the experiment, and the mobile phone in his trouser pocket kept ringing.

He frowned first, looking unhappy.After being reminded several times by Dr. Chen next to him, Liao Yuanbai took off his gloves, took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID.When he saw that it was Dean Liao's call, Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had applied for project funding a month ago.

He hastily pressed the answer button, put it next to his ear and asked, "Hello, is this Dean Liao?"
