    And did WIV, that you know of, have that, or were they working on that?
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    I would be surprised if they weren't working on it. I don't know if they published on it or not. Linda Saif has swine models, gnotobiotic swine models that she can study viral pathogenesis and vaccine DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com performance. Really her area of expertise. I was glad. I like her a lot. We helped her students develop a molecular clone and then we didn't work on it anymore.

    Okay. I'm going to show you another email here that you're on. It's dated October 24, 2018. It's from Fang Li to you. [Exhibit No. 2 shown.]

    -- "has emailed you the information about PEDV. My postdoc, C-H-U-M-I-N-G, will email you the information about the MERS-like CoV-422 soon." Do you recall that email?
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Not really, but Fang Li does structural biology and develops biochemical assays, to look at spike receptor interactions. So I would guess that both of those are around that topic.
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Okay. Did you work on either of those two?
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    We had published a paper on MERS 422. I don't think Fang is an author.
