Chapter 208 Extraction of Antibodies
"Later, the hospital director contacted the researchers at our institute. After everyone found out, they immediately went to check on He Rui and found that antibodies had been produced in He Rui's body.
Although we can't find a cure for the HZ virus right now, we can extract antibodies from He Rui's blood and use them to treat Li Heng and the others."
After hearing this, Chief Alliance Officer Li's joy faded away. "Old Xu, I'm very pleased to hear this good news, but He Rui is also a living person. How much blood can he have?
If you rely on He Rui alone, you won't be able to save many people even if you drain him dry!"
Dean Xu instantly understood what Chief Alliance Officer Li meant, glared at him and said, "Who do you think I am? How could I do something that would take someone's life lightly?
I told you about this discovery because I want you to know that our institute has a research direction. Who knows when we will find a cure for the HZ virus.
Moreover, while ensuring that He Rui is in good health, extracting antibodies from his blood can curb the worsening of Li Heng and others' condition and buy them some more time.
Before coming here, I had consulted He Rui's opinion, and he agreed. "
After hearing this, Old Li hugged Dean Xu tightly and cried, "Old Xu, thank you, thank you all, Li Heng and the others are saved, they are saved!
Old Xu, let me go to the hospital with you to see He Rui. He is a good boy and the savior of our Li family!"
Dean Xu looked at Old Li, who was shaking with tears. Although he felt a little sorry, he still said, "Don't disturb them while they are recovering. When He Rui recovers, I will take you to thank them. Don't worry, I will take good care of him during this period."
"Well, that's fine. I'll go home and find some nutritional supplements. You can bring them to He Rui and tell him to eat more and replenish himself. Don't ruin your body just because of saving Li Heng and the others!"
Dean Xu nodded, "Okay, do more, maybe it can help He Rui recover sooner."
After seeing that the two had reached a consensus, Chief Alliance Officer Li Cheng asked Dean Xu, "What are the next plans for the institute?"
Dean Xu then said to Chief Alliance Officer Li: "We have tracked so many cases, and only He Rui showed signs of self-healing. The difference between He Rui and others is that he was once infected with Unknown No. 1.
We suspect that some substance remaining in the body of Unknown No. 1 after recovery has an inhibitory effect on the HZ virus. Of course, this requires further research.
Logically speaking, there are so many people infected with the HZ virus, so He Rui can't be the only one who has been infected with Unknown No. 1. But so far, no city has reported this unusual situation, so I have to investigate when I go back."
After hearing this, Chief Alliance Officer Li nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Dean Xu smiled and said, "It's not hard. As long as we can find a cure, this little bit of hardship won't matter!"
Is it really not hard? Actually, it is really hard!
The researchers at the institute work at least 12 hours a day, eat and live at the institute. They all have unshaven beards and sunken eyes. Director Xu has even turned his hair white with anxiety.
But what can they do? The hopes of the whole country and even the whole world are pinned on them. They can only persevere and work hard, hoping that one day they can save the world.
After reporting his work, President Xu prepared to go back. He still had to continue researching what substance was suppressing the HZ virus.
But as soon as Dean Xu walked into the corridor, he heard a cell phone ringing.
Everyone looked at Qiu Man in the direction of the voice. Qiu Man was a little embarrassed. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and prepared to hang up, but he was stunned when he saw the caller ID.
Chief Alliance Officer Li was originally going to see President Xu off, but when he saw Qiu Man's expression, he misunderstood and thought it was a call from the dream predictor.
Chief Alliance Officer Li winked at Qiu Man and said, "If you need anything, go answer the phone first."
Qiu Man smiled awkwardly, pointed at his phone and said to everyone: "Sorry, sorry, I'll go see what's going on."
Everyone nodded to show their understanding, and then followed Chief Alliance Officer Li to escort the great hero, President Xu, out of the office building.
Qiu Manzhe hid in the conference room and locked the door before answering the phone.
The soundproofing of this conference room is very good, and there are no cameras. After locking the door, he can talk on the phone without any worries.
"Hello, Mr. Qiu." After the call was connected, Shen Yanming took the lead in greeting Qiu Man.
Qiu Man smiled and said, "I thought there would never be a day when you would call me."
Shen Yanming also laughed after hearing this, "You left me your phone number, wasn't it so that I could contact you when something happened?"
"But, from the relaxed tone you sound, it doesn't sound like you need my help with anything."
"Well, you're right, I'm not asking you for help!"
"What's that? I really can't guess it if you don't tell me directly." After hearing the good news brought to them by Dean Xu today, Qiu Man was in a good mood and had the patience to listen to Shen Yanming's story.
Shen Yanming did not continue to beat around the bush and said directly to Qiu Man: "Mr. Qiu, I went back to my hometown some time ago to retrieve my father's relics. I found some things in them that may be useful for the HZ virus."
Qiu Man didn't expect Shen Yanming to bring him such a big surprise, and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, it should be something that can effectively block the spread of the HZ virus. If you need it, please send someone you trust over here and I'll give it to you!"
Qiu Man did not doubt whether what Shen Yanming said was true or false, because during this period of time, they did seek various folk remedies. They would try them whenever possible. Although they were disappointed time and time again, they could never tell when they would see a miracle.
What's more, Qiu Man didn't think Shen Yanming was a liar.
After agreeing on a time, Qiu Man sat in the conference room for a while to calm himself down before going to the office of Chief Alliance Officer Li.
At this time, because of the good news brought by President Xu, all the big guys went back to their offices to tell their families and friends the good news. Chief Alliance Officer Li's office was empty, with only him left.
After Qiu Man closed the door, he heard Chief Alliance Officer Li ask, "Did the dream predictor call?"
Qiu Man shook his head. "No, it was a young man I met before."
Hearing that the call was not from the dream predictor, Chief Alliance Officer Li was still a little disappointed, but he still asked: "Oh, we just met once, you shouldn't leave your contact information with him, right?"
Qiu Man nodded, "Yes, he is a very good person. I once thought he was the same person as the dream predictor, but later investigations revealed that he was just very foresighted."
"Oh? Then who is he calling?"
