Prevention Of Chicken Pest With Silk Clothing Vaccine

silk

It can not only make clothes, but also produce vaccines.

Classical swine fever * classical swine fever

。

Yesterday, at the second International Symposium on silkworm functional genomics and Modern Silk Road, Xiang Zhonghuai, director of the Key Laboratory of sericulture of the Ministry of agriculture and the Chinese Academy of engineering, revealed the news.

In 2009, Southwestern University presented the world's first genetically modified silk dress: the green fluorescent protein was pferred to the silkworm, and the silk produced by the silkworm was green.

Ultraviolet rays

Under the irradiation, it can emit fluorescence.

This kind of genetically modified silk clothing will become traditional after washing and softening.

silk

It is so delicate that it will not fade, and it will not wrinkle or deform easily.

Imagine how many people will be watching when wearing such a luminous garment and attending various occasions.

Therefore, the public is very concerned about the time when such genetically modified fabrics can be listed.

Yesterday, I explained to Zhong Huai that the scope of the intermediate test has been expanded, but it will take some time to make clothes as a real garment.

Xiang Zhonghuai told reporters yesterday that using genetically modified silkworm eggs could also prevent classical swine fever.

Xiang Zhonghuai explained that the production of vaccines

gene

To silkworm, silkworm has this protein.

The silkworm spit silk also has this protein.

"If the protein is active, it can resist swine fever, chicken fever and other diseases."

Xiang Zhonghuai said that the current stage of the study is to see whether the protein has any activity and effect.

Xiang Zhonghuai also revealed that the phytase was pferred to the silkworm, and the spit silk Contained Phytase, and the activity was very high.

Phytase can promote the absorption of phosphorus in feed.

"Animal growth itself needs phosphorus, but its absorption rate is not high."

Xiang Zhonghuai explained that by pgene, silkworm eggs and silkworm chrysalis contain phytase, which can be used as feedstuff, which can increase animal's absorption of phosphorus in feed and reduce environmental pollution.
