不过,专家们说,很难从病毒中分离出这部分蛋白质用于疫苗,或利用基因工程生产出这种蛋白质。
But experts say it will be very difficult to isolate this part of the protein from the virus to use in a vaccine, or to manufacture it using genetic engineering.
“我们为此制作了路线图,作为基因工程的第一个‘杀手程序’,它将对基因密码进行重大改变,使病毒无法预测和识别,”他说道。
"We have a road map for this as the first 'killer app' for genome engineering, which is to change the genetic code genome-wide to something that the viruses don't expect," he says.
