While waiting for the development of an effective drug or vaccine against the whole world corona virus, it turned out that there was a big problem in providing the type of mouse that the developed vaccine or drug would be tried for testing before human.
According to the striking report in Bloomberg Businesweek magazine, the ACE2 transmissive mouse species is needed for corona virus drug and vaccine studies, but this type of mouse is currently not available.
LABORATORY IS CLOSED AS THERE IS NO SOURCE
Professor of the University of Iowa, who uses this type of mouse as part of the Corona virus family vaccination development after the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak in 2003. Dr. The researchers who reached Stanley Perlman encountered the answer, “We closed the lab 10 years ago due to lack of resources.”
Fortunately, Dr. It was stated that Perlman freed the sperms of the mouse in question and required mice would be obtained using these frozen sperms. However, it is stated that it may take months to get enough mice.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 11 THOUSAND MOUSE TYPES, OR NO REQUESTED TYPE
Jackson Laboratory, which is located in the state of Maine, USA, supplying animals to medical researchers, has announced that although they sell more than 11 thousand mouse varieties, they do not have a suitable mouse for corona virus studies. The laboratory’s global logistics chief, Charles Miller, He stated that they started to use the frozen sperm they received from Perlman.
Professor of Flinders University in Australia. Dr. Nikolai Petrovsky said that there was a serious bottleneck on the mouse, there was a political pressure on the use of vaccines developed on researchers directly on humans without trying in animals, but this was dangerous and worrying.
