We know now that it's caused by a related virus, called vaccinia, remember the virus that causes smallpox is called variola.
我们现在知道这病由一种相关的病毒引起,这种病毒叫牛痘病毒,想想天花病毒也被叫做牛痘病毒
They're going to release a viral agent that will kill half of this country.
他们会释放出一种病毒,让这个国家一半的人丧命。
So, this is a cell that's infected with a microorganism, it's infected with a virus, let's say it's infected with influenza virus.
这是一个感染了微生物的细胞,它感染了一种病毒,就说是感染了流感病毒吧
But because of the similarity of the viruses, the immune response that people developed would also protect them against natural infections with variola.
因为这两种病毒很相像,人体的免疫应答也能保护自己,免受天花的感染
This is a life cycle of a particular class of viruses called retroviruses.
这里是称为逆转录病毒的一种特殊病毒的,生命周期
And so in the 1940s, a group of people led by Collier started to develop a large scale production method for making a reliable source of vaccinia virus.
在二十世纪四十年代,科利尔带领一群人开始研究,一种大规模的生产方法,这种方法能制得牛痘病毒的可靠来源
So, you cross link all the proteins in the virus, and you make a particle that looks like a virus but it can't act like a virus any longer because it can't replicate.
当病毒中所有的蛋白质交联后,就得到了一种看上去像病毒,却无法致病的病毒,因为这种病毒不能进行复制
And they also developed a very reliable way for introducing the virus, so that when they had a defined preparation of virus, then you want to make sure that everybody gets it in their skin in the right way.
他们还发明了一种可靠的方法来引入病毒,当人们有了确定的病毒制剂之后,就要要保证这些制剂都以正确的方式,注射至皮下
Particularly, if we took advantage of the fact that this is a virus that's easily transmitted orally and could you make a vaccine that would be effective orally as well, that would be a tremendous advantage, especially in children who don't like to get shots.
尤其是,如果我们可以利用这种病毒,很容易经口传播这一事实,制造出一种,可以通过口服而起到同样效果的疫苗,那么这将是一个巨大的飞跃,特别是对于那些不喜欢打针的孩子
We have techniques of recombinant DNA, and those can be used to produce either modified viruses, we'll talk about that.
我们拥有重组DNA技术,它可以用来生产任一种减毒病毒,这个以后会再讲
You know about retroviruses, the most famous and important one at this time is HIV, which is a retrovirus.
你们应该听过逆转录病毒吧,现下最为知名而重要的 HIV,就是一种逆转录病毒
HIV is a member of the family of viruses called retroviruses, and retroviruses all use RNA as their genetic material.
IV是一种逆转录病毒,所有逆转录病毒均以RNA作为遗传物质
This might be a polio virus, for example. The example I've given here is a virus that contains DNA as its genetic material.
例如 这个应该是,小儿麻痹症病毒,我曾在这里展示过,一种将DNA作为遗传物质的病毒
Remember that the lucky thing about the smallpox vaccine was that a naturally occurring attenuated form of the smallpox virus variola called vaccinea was found.
对于天花病毒来说,幸运的是,存在一种自然发生的,被称作痘苗病毒的,天花病毒的衰减疫苗
We've talked about killing a virus by cross-linking it, for example, to make a substance that looks like a vaccine-- looks like a virus but can't replicate.
例如,我们谈论过,通过蛋白交联来杀死病毒,以便制造出一种类似疫苗,应该是类似病毒但却无法进行复制的物质
In many cases, it affects--it also initiates its infection through the gut.
在很多情况下,它也同样是一种经消化道感染病毒
Because it's passed by-- can be passed by an oral route it's a disease that's very effectively transmitted in school settings where children are together, or childcare settings.
因为脊髓灰质炎病毒可以,经口传染途径进行传播,因此它是一种,极易在学校传播的疾病,在这些地方孩子们都聚集在一起
But variola, which causes smallpox in humans, and vaccinia, which causes a disease called cowpox in cattle, turned out to be, we now know, viruses that are molecularly very similar.
但是导致天花的人痘病毒,和导致牛痘,的牛痘病毒,后来发现其实是,我们现在知道,这两种病毒在分子水平上十分相似
HIV, HIV is a natural virus that contains an enzyme in it.
IV,HIV是一种自然病毒,里面有一种酶
