George Gao and the Transgenic Mice
1. "Establish animal models of new coronavirus infections under different physiological and immune states, and reveal experimental animal virus infection, replication, transmission ability, changes in the body's immune response level..."

2. "....body lesions and processes, etc. Combining the background of the physiological and immune status before infection, reveal the relationship between the different levels of immune response and the pathogenic ability of the virus..."

3. "..and analyze the molecular mechanism of different immune states leading to different pathogenic abilities of the virus. Establish a human MHC transgenic mouse infection model; reveal the proportion and distribution of CD8+T and CD4+T lymphocytes, the release of cytokines.."

4. "..and other immune response changes, and clarify the role of MHC restriction in the cross-species transmission of the virus; establish a new type Real-time monitoring of virus distribution in the mouse model"

Where it all began?
Project 2011CB504700-
"Study on the molecular mechanism of important viruses' cross-species infection and transmission"
Chief scientist: Gao Fu Institute of Microbiology
Chinese Academy of Sciences
Starting & ending years: 2011 - 2015.

Sure, but it ended in 2015, I hear you say....but, did it?
They never stopped this line of research, there was a version 2 and then it morphed into this (2018-2022)
