"Using Dittany Promoter, the laboratory's medical experts developed an immune-enhancement therapy." Patrick led Murphy downstairs to an exhibition room.
Several educational promotional posters hung on the walls, with a number of models displayed beside them.
"They cultured human T cells outside the body, separated and activated them with antigen-coated magnetic beads, then infused them back into the patient. This allowed patients with weak immune systems to gain strong immunity, achieving a therapeutic effect."
"In the past, this technology was limited by the rate at which T cells multiplied. Treatment courses were very long, making it difficult to use against acute infections. But now, with Dittany Promoter, T cells extracted from patients can quickly multiply to sufficient quantities."
"This therapy has an extremely broad range of applications. It can not only treat certain bacteria and viruses, but may even be used in the future to treat AIDS and cancer."
"Additionally, we have accumulated more than thirty patents related to Dittany Promoter, with over twenty more currently under application."
As Patrick spoke, he showed Murphy the patent certificates hanging on the wall. "One or two of these patents could bring us profits no less than White Medicine in the future."
Murphy nodded. "Has there been any progress on the mutated dittany research?"
So-called mutated dittany was magical dittany.
Compared with the effects of magical dittany, Murphy was more curious about the reason for its emergence.
This might be one route by which magic transformed plants.
"Not yet. The researchers are trying to compare the genomes of the two. We bought several ABI 370A machines, which can perform automated sequencing through the Sanger Method. But the dittany genome has roughly twenty to thirty thousand genes. Completing the sequencing and comparison of the entire genome will still take time."
"All right."
The progress was
