T-Virus+ G-Virus+ Daylight Virus=????

[robm_2007]

have they ever used this combination for a virus in any RE game?

What would it make?

[TheSelfishGene]

No.

Daylight is a vaccine against the T-virus, not a virus.

[Corrin]

No.

Daylight is a vaccine against the T-virus, not a virus.

Daylight?? I thought the only instance of that happening was with the leech queen in Resident Evil 0.

About the “daylight virus”: Where is it from? I’ve never really heard about, I thought it was some kind of citation to a virus weakness.

One thing that keeps me curious is that RE5 will make a relation about the progenitor virus and parasites that have some relationship with Ebola, and as we can see on the trailers, they aren’t photosensitive. So the answer to the second topic question is: maybe it would make the new parasite on RE5.

Well, robm edited the topic title so about the NE-T I don’t think it will have something to do the Parasite on RE5. Now the answer to the second topic question is: It would make a fantastic B.O.W. cause it would have the resistance and the rapid cell metabolism of the G-virus, would have resistance against light and also a decreased brain destruction thanks to the NE-T.

wasn't it still called Daylight Virus? or was it just called Daylight?

Yes, I’m insane, I’m quoting myself.

The matter is that when you are working with many kinds of viruses on the same guinea-pig, they react among themselves and result on the most unexpected things. So, is more probable that this “mix” wouldn’t function before many and many experiences and even after that it probably wouldn’t function because some characteristic found on them can be harmful to one which other (Lisa Trevor is a good example).

I have played through all the Resident Evil games and I have no idea what the hell this "Daylight Virus" you keep going on about even is.

EDIT: Actually, I never got far in Outbreak and I never played Outbreak 2. I was under the impression they added nothing story-wise as Capcom and Nintendo had some sort of deal at the time that all main story-related games would be Nintendo exclusive.

Resident Evil Outbreak.
Does anyone even know if Daylights canon?

[Darkmoon]

It's debateable. There are some problems with Outbreak being canon, but most of them invole problems in the timeline and issues with the RPD building. And if went by that anaylses half the sequels aren't canon. Personally I'm working on the assumption that Outbreak is canon until someone says something different from an official source.

[TheSelfishGene]

Yes Resident Evil outbreak. In the decisions decisions scenario you can synthesise a T-virus vaccine called Daylight. It's made from a blood sample from Thanatos, some venom extract from some mutated bees, and a vaccine base.

There's nothing really to suggest it isn't canon, so I assume it is.

I doubt the Nemesis Tyrant (NeT) Virus works in the way most people think it does. Most people want to think it’s a variant T-Virus strain, most notably used within the Nemesis Tyrant. The NeT-Virus isn't one of Umbrella's official viruses like the Projenitor Virus, T-Virus, or G-Virus. This virus was mentioned in one of the text files present in Resident Evil 3, inside of the "Business Fax" which stated, "The liquid medicine named VT-J98 is suitable to cultivate the NE-T type virus". No where else has the NeT-Virus been mentioned (to my knowledge, if you have any information, please let me know).

I personally think it’s a T-Virus Suppressor... Something to allow the Parasite and the Tyrant to coexist--something that allows for the T-virus to interact with the Nemesis Parasite without the parasite being infected and thus feeling any of the negative effects of the T-Virus...

To justify this point of view, think back to the Wesker Report when Wesker mentions how the original Nemesis parasite trials would quite literally kill the test subjects in seconds after exposure to the parasite. Why do you think this was? One way of looking at it is that since the T-Virus is essentially flowing freely in the Tyrant's blood stream, when the parasite attaches itself to the host and begins to feed, the T-Virus within the Tyrant's blood infects the parasite which causes it's seemingly arthropodic composition to go berserk (for the lack of a better word) and causes it to sprout tendrils/tentacles sporadically puncturing vital organs such as the heart or the brain. When the latter occurs (namely, inter-cranial encephalitic destruction) the Tyrant dies and all that's left is a twitchy pile of flesh with tentacles whipping about until the parasite too dies.

Obviously, this wasn't the idea Umbrella was going for when they thought of engineering the parasite. Umbrella needed a way to keep the T-Virus from damaging the basic neural network within the Nemesis Parasite. The only cost efficient way of doing this (apart from completely redesigning the Nemesis Parasite) would be to design a simple virus which makes the Nemesis Parasite immune to the T-Virus by removing the T-Virus's docking sites from all of the parasite's cells. This can be done through gene manipulation and naked DNA insertion via a viral vector which specifically targets the parasite's T-Virus docking sites and essentially turns them off so that the T-Virus just passes by without infecting the parasite.

Since it's deisigned to only affects the parasite, there's no way it would matter to Jill when she was infected in Resident Evil 3. She was infected with the T-Virus still running through the Tyrant's bodily fluids, which is why she was saved by an anti-virus that was based on the T-Virus and the research done on that virus at the city hospital... Had NeT-Virus been a true variant strain of the T-Virus, the vaccine would not have worked (it may have slowed the virus down since it would have had an anti-viral effect on the NeT, however, there's no garuntee that it would have worked with any measureable amount of success). She'd be a zombie right now instead of kicking ass in Russia with Chris and stuff...

As for Daylight, as Gene mentioned, it's made from Tyrant blood, venom extract, and from a vaccine base. This mixture sounds wierd at first, but it could in effect be creating a T-Virus targeting interferon, probably something similar to a Type I interferon? Interferons inhibit the viral replication within the T-Virus' host cells, it activates our NK (Natural Killer) cells and macrophages, increases antigen presentation to lymphocytes, and induces the resistance of host cells to further viral infection.

[TheSelfishGene]

Very nice idea Project Omega. Seems to make sense to me. Since the NE-T virus was never mentioned again, I assume it's an unused story arc, like HCF (at this point), but more on that later.

This can be done through gene manipulation and naked DNA insertion via a viral vector which specifically targets the parasite's T-Virus docking sites and essentially turns them off so that the T-Virus just passes by without infecting the parasite.

Even easier then changing the gene regulation of the T virus with the NE-T virus, would be to theorise that the NE-T virus is an attenuated (inactive) form of the T virus, and when introduced in excess, would bind the majority of T-virus receptors, so actual T virus can't interact with receptors how it normally would. I'm quite sure that would work? But it's been a while since I studied immuno.

Anyone who's studied this sort of stuff knows that viruses are an easy and extremely efficient way to introduce foreign DNA into a host organism. People think that every single virus that Umbrella used creates monsters, but any good biotech company will have dozens of strains of virus for dozens of species and cell lines, to do their experiments. NE-T can probably be written off as a vector too. I doubt we'll see it in any games again.

[TheOrganization]

I always thought of the Daylight serum being canon.
I mean if someone is creating a virus its only natural that you would create a anti virus to.

That would also work, acting as a docking receptor antagonist, but wouldn't you run the risk of running into receptor desensitization?

acctually daylight is the cure though i remember reading about it in RE0 and RE2
