Synthetic DNA Vaccine Against MERS Induces Immunity in Animal Study, Penn Researchers Find

PHILADELPHIA – A novel synthetic DNA vaccine can, for the first time, induce protective immunity against the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus in animal species, reported researchers from thePerelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

David B. Weiner, PhD, a professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and colleagues published their work in Science Translational Medicine (STM) this week. The experimental, preventive vaccine, given six weeks before exposure to the MERS virus, was found to fully protect rhesus macaques from disease. The vaccine also generated potentially protective antibodies in blood drawn from camels, the purported source of MERS transmission in the Middle East.

같은날 조선일보기사 -_- ??????????

제가 과민한걸까요? 

왜 저는 이런게 싫은지 모르겠습니다. 

대충 읽어서는 마치 한국 과학자의 바이오 기업이 개발한줄 -_-;;

있는사실 그대로 발표해줬으면 좋겠는데 말이죠 ;;

조그만 일터지만 외국인 연구원들하고 같이 일하는데 걔들 한글 다 읽을 수 있거든요... 

표정이 썩은 표정이더군요 조선일보 보더니 ...
