Australian scientists develop hazard-free research on H5N1 virus technology

Australian researchers say they have developed a technique to unlock the deadly avian influenza virus H5N1The technology will help virus experts and drug researchers protect themselves from the risk of being infected when studying an important surface protein for the H5N1 virusIn addition, new technologies can help people quickly verify avian and other influenza virusesThe new technology was developed in collaboration with Professor Mark von Izstein of the Institute of Glysingology at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia, and a research group of international projects led by Professor Malik Perez of the University of Hong KongProfessor Von Izten, the inventor of the anti-flu drug Relenza, has developed a method to place inactivated influenza H5 proteins in harmless vectors ——— viral particlesThe new technology is based on the method developed by Perris to place the inactivated influenza H5 protein into a harmless vector, using these virus particles as viral protein vectors, allowing researchers to complete their research without the need for advanced protective laboratory environments"To better study a viral protein, researchers need to be able to observe and monitor how the virus protein works when it binds to viral particles," Feng saidHe also says it's an equally difficult job, as people learn about the function of guns simply by studying bullets
