Chapter 716 Composite White Blood Cells
Chapter 716 Composite White Blood Cells
"The current predicted value is 150 days. The specific value will have to wait and see after it is entered into my body." Evan said.
"The upper limit of the life span of red blood cells is 140 days. 150 days exceeds the theoretical upper limit!" The reporter was surprised. "Who is the source of the red blood cells that Chenghuang gave you?"
"No one." Evan smiled.
"No one?" The reporter was stunned.
"The upper limit of the life span of red blood cells is not 140 days. To be precise, the upper limit of the life span of human red blood cells is 140 days." Evan said meaningfully.
"You mean...the red blood cells you want to transfuse come from animals?" The reporter was confused.
"How come animals are used?" Evan couldn't help laughing, "They are artificial red blood cells. Chenghuang has conquered the artificial red blood cell technology, which is more durable than the red blood cells naturally formed by humans!"
Once the interview video was released, it quickly caused a sensation.
Global media have reported one after another, with many front-page headlines:
"The world's first mature artificial red blood cells?" 》
"The field of artificial red blood cells is making waves again, Chenghuang Company is conducting clinical trials! 》
"Is Evan's dream of living a long life a step closer? 》
"Hoax or Technological Revolution?" What is the value of artificial red blood cells? 》
Netizens had various reactions, and there was a tug-of-war on all major platforms.
"I never expected that Chenghuang would also start to make money. Are there no companies in the world that are doing scientific research in a down-to-earth manner?"
"Chenghuang has discovered the code of wealth. It is better to speculate on concepts than to work hard to make medicine. I bet Evan is a Thor. He will absorb the funds later. Evan's money will be returned in full, and the money in the market will be split 30-70!"
"No, does anyone really question Chenghuang's strength? Artificial vision and gastric cancer medicine are amazing!"
"If other companies engage in artificial blood production, I will criticize the scammer company and take advantage of the situation to engage in artificial blood production. I will not express my opinion for the time being. I will wait and see."
"Is this thing just for the rich? Ordinary people can't use it, right?"
"Haha, if you don't cheat the poor, you have a conscience."
The outside world is noisy, but Song He's life is calm.
He is still working step by step and advancing step by step according to the plan.
The first batch of wealthy people to participate in the artificial red blood cell exchange experiment were not just a few as speculated by the outside world, but as many as 60 people from all over the world. After multiple rounds of auctions, they contributed a huge donation of 800 million.
Of course, Song He is not a shady businessman. The 800 million is not only money for artificial red blood cells, but also issued a black gold card for each rich person who participated in the experiment, which is equivalent to an internal super-luxury VIP, promising that he will be rich in the future. Any medical breakthroughs can be given priority to Black Gold Card customers and are valid for life.
Clinical trials of artificial red blood cells are progressing steadily, and Song He continues to lead the team to create artificial blood.
The second step is white blood cells, and the difficulty increases sharply again.
Red blood cells have no nuclei, while white blood cells have nuclei, and there are many types of them.
White blood cells also need to travel inside and outside blood vessels and must be able to effectively remove foreign bacteria and aging and dead red blood cells.
Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes are each very different and secrete a variety of cytokines such as interleukins, interferons, and tumor necrosis factors...
At the same time, white blood cells also have blood types. The famous HLA blood type is named from the white blood cell membrane surface antigen. There are 7 series of antigen glycoproteins A, B, C, D, DR, DQ and DP, with a total of more than 144 types.
It is completely unrealistic to directly complete such a huge workload!
With the few troops Song He has at his disposal, if he wants to restore all white blood cell types, he may have to work non-stop for a hundred years!
Fortunately, the information provided by the system has pointed the way... to produce compound white blood cells!
The so-called compound white blood cells, as the name suggests, are a comprehensive version that has both functions. One cell has multiple uses. It can secrete cytokines and phagocytose dead red blood cells. It is multi-talented. One cell can do the work of a bunch of cells.
After all, the purpose of artificial blood is mainly to provide temporary first aid to wounded patients, so some basic immune components in the blood are enough. The deficient white blood cells will be secreted little by little by the patient's body and gradually replenished into the blood.
Even if the requirements are not high, it is still extremely difficult to research and develop a variety of white blood cells into one composite white blood cell!
Over the weekend, all members of Song He's team held a meeting in the laboratory. The exchange of opinions lasted for more than three hours at the beginning, with each group almost rushing to speak enthusiastically.
Song He was very pleased.
When I was doing red blood cells before, everyone's speeches were mainly to persuade me to give up. They all raised difficult questions and then backed down. Each one was more timid than the other. There was no such lively discussion at all.
Now that artificial red blood cells have been a great success, the whole team is excited. Everyone believes from the bottom of their hearts that it can be done. Everyone has collected a lot of information. When encountering difficulties, the response is not to give up, but to find a way. Go around.
After three hours of bickering, Song He clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet and began to set the tone.
"Regarding compound leukocytes, Ji Tianhe's group made the most accurate statement, probably because Ji Tianhe's group has been doing drug-delivery bacteria before and has done research in this area." Song He said.
"We face three major difficulties!"
Song He stood up, took out a marker and wrote on the task paper on the wall.
"The first major difficulty is identifying friend or foe!"
"Friendly fire is absolutely not allowed, especially since compound white blood cells cannot attack the human body. If a bag of blood is transfused into the human body, and the compound white blood cells in it attack the patient desperately, then we might as well not do it. At the same time, the immune system in the human body, faced with compound White blood cells cannot have an overreaction."
"The latter is easier to handle. We all have experience. Drawing on the concealment methods of tumors, whether it is artificial red blood cells or the drug-delivery bacteria Ji Tianhe's team is developing, they will not be violently attacked by the human body. At most, there will be some slight friction. , it’s no big deal.”
"The former is the most difficult, and we need to study it carefully! How can we make the compound white blood cells only attack pathogens and not the human body?"
【1. Identification of friend or foe】
"The second most difficult problem is breeding restrictions!"
"The compound white blood cells we made must not multiply wildly in the human body!"
"I won't waste any more nonsense. If compound white blood cells can reproduce automatically, they will become parasites. We cannot engage in research that will kill patients."
"However, there are two important questions before us regarding breeding limitations."
