They took the SARS coronavirus and then they inactivated it with a chemical inactivation, a UV light. So they killed the virus so that all that was left was the antigenic preparation, and that's put in the animal. So killed vaccines are pretty commonly used in humans.

Okay. And the vaccine, the MERS vaccine, is that the CisVax [sic] vaccine that I saw in one of your grant proposals, was called CisVax?

CisVax?

I think. If you don't know. DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com

I've read a lot of proposals. You're going to have to show me the proposal and then I can tell you.
-
If not, I was just trying to tie it back to something. Okay. So I have some notes, and I think your call was around the 7th.
-
I believe you, but I just don't recall the exact date.
-
Do you recall what you all discussed?
-
Not in any detail. I can probably give you an estimate of what we talked about, was that there was a new coronavirus that was being identified, and it would be logical for the NIH to contact me and talk to me about what it was. Although the 7th would've been a little early. I guess it was around the 7th or 8th that I actually got the sequence of the virus. Before that I'd been verbally told by the Chinese that it was 78 percent identical to the original SARS coronavirus 2003 strain.
