复旦已研制出MERS抗体

A research team at Fudan University's School of Basic Medical Sciences has developed an antibody of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome virus, called M336, together with US-based National Institutes of Health, said Zhong Nanshan, China's well-known respirologist. We are looking forward to putting the antibody, which has proved to be effective in animal tests against MERS virus, into clinical trial as soon as possible, he said.

中国著名的呼吸病学专家钟南山透露，复旦大学基础医学院研究团队与美国国立卫生院合作，联合开发出一种针对中东呼吸综合征(MERS)病毒的抗体M336，动物实验非常有效，希望能尽快进行临床实验。

Zhong, who became famous for his prominent work on SARS in 2003, is now the team leader of an anti-MERS medical expert's team in Guangdong.

钟南山因在2003年抗击非典中的突出贡献而为国人所知，他目前担任广东省防控MERS疫情专家组组长。
