    Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, December 14 (Intern reporter Zhang Jiaxin) According to recent news from Japan’s "Japan Times" and British "Daily Mail", the development team chaired by Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, president of Kyoto Prefecture University in Japan, used antibodies extracted from ostrich eggs to develop A mask to detect the new crown virus has been developed


    The feature of this non-woven mask is that the filter is coated with ostrich antibodies against the new crown virus


    This time these antibodies were extracted from ostrich eggs, which were injected with an inactivated, non-threatening new coronavirus


    The formation time of an ostrich egg is much faster than that of an egg, and its quality is almost 24 times that of an egg.


    In February last year, the research team injected female ostriches with inactivated new coronavirus and successfully extracted a large number of antibodies from the eggs they lay


    The research team observed 32 patients infected with the new coronavirus for up to 10 days and found that all masks worn by the infected people will glow under ultraviolet light, but as time goes by and the viral load decreases, the masks will fade


    The researchers said that using the LED light of a smartphone as a light source to detect viruses will greatly expand the range of people using the mask
