Chapter 1139 (1/2)
Compared with the previous search for pathogens like looking for a needle in a haystack, the task we are facing this time is much simpler. At least the pathogen already has significant characteristics. That is marked by a large number of isotopes.
It's like catching a mosquito in the dark. And catching a firefly in the dark. The latter is undoubtedly much simpler.
Finally, with the unremitting efforts of experts, someone finally found the isotope labeled pathogen. The information was then shared with everyone.
The experts who saw the pathogen felt a burst of egg pain. They had seen it before, but they didn't pay attention. Although the environment in the human body is relatively clean, it can't be free of impurities and waste. These things basically have no life response, just like garbage wandering between tissues and cells. The amount is small. But it is occasionally observed.
All experts regard this new pathogen as this kind of garbage between cells. After all, it doesn't seem to have the slightest life response. The most important thing is that the number is too small. There is no way to associate it with pathogens.
Most pathogens. After causing such serious lesions, many can be found in any drop of blood sample. If you want to identify a thing as a pathogen under the microscope, you need to find at least two similar ones in a slice!
There is only one such thing in the field of vision of the microscope. Who can imagine? This thing actually has many kinds in the patient's body?
However, this is not the time to think and sum up the lessons of failure. The top priority is to understand what this pathogen is first, and then carry out emergency rescue for patients.
Experts quickly locked and extracted the pathogen. Although the quantity was small, it was enough for laboratory analysis.
Soon, the analysis results were put in front of them. The content was really shocking. The test results showed that this thing was not carbon based organisms at all.
Needless to say, it is probably a bit like silicon-based life, but a large number of metal elements are attached to the surface. The life form is quite different from carbon-based organisms. It seems that life is not based on a simple atom.
In fact, the reason why these pathogens cause human diseases is that they fall into extreme hunger and are doing their best to collect metal elements in the human body. However, what kind of metal is there in the human body? It led them to destroy cells crazily, but the effect was so small that they almost emptied all kinds of metal trace elements in the patient's body.
This makes the experts blind for a time. If it is an ordinary pathogen, they have a lot of ways. Directly induce immune cells in vitro to produce antibodies. Then inject antibodies and kill the pathogens first.
The problem, however, is that it's not carbon based at all. It's hard for immune cells to recognize this thing. It's even harder than stopping husky from dismantling his house. After all, this thing can't be a source of harm to human health under normal circumstances. Carbon based organisms have never encountered similar dangers on the way of evolution. How can they evolve immune cells to resist this danger?
Several attempts to produce antibodies against this thing failed. Even if they are artificially synthesized, these suspected silicon-based virus gadgets have a bare surface and lack of proteins or chemical bonds that can connect the antibody. They simply can't slide. The antibody is like a flea on the bald head, and the bald head is waxed and directly slides down
This time, a young medical student put forward an idea: ”teacher, didn't you say that this pathogen in patients is very rare? That means that in an environment like the human body, these organisms are difficult to replicate themselves.
