從冠狀病毒到SARS病毒:我的個人經驗
From coronavirus to SARS virus: a personal experience |
我研究冠狀病毒已超過25年。冠狀病毒是一群會在人類和其他動物(如豬、牛、雞、貓等)身上造成腸炎及呼吸系統感染的病毒。我當初研究這類病毒的動機是想要證明這類病毒會在人體引起多發性硬化的神經疾病,這是一種耗竭性疾病,會造成很多病人早逝。我的實驗結果並不明確,但在研究過程中,發現了關於病毒尤其是冠狀病毒,許多令人興奮的現象。譬如,我們發現了一個RNA重組的現象;我們解讀了一種病毒的完整基因序列及基因構造,而這是自然界最大的一個病毒 RNA基因組。然而,冠狀病毒一直是冷門的病毒,因為過去在醫學上,被認為並不重要。直到今年3月SARS爆發,一切情形改觀。SARS病毒被發現是冠狀病毒,我們及其他實驗室的研究成果,現在就可以直接應用在SARS病毒上。我將和大家分享我以一個科學家,從一個默默工作但受尊重的病毒學家,到一個對抗 SARS的前線戰士的這段歷程。這個教訓說明了基礎科學研究者會在未曾預期的一刻,成就偉大的貢獻。這是基礎科學研究的樂趣和美妙的地方。我將討論 SARS病毒的基本特性,以及我們未來可以做些什麼來控制這種病毒。 |
