How the human immune system protects against Ebola Date: August 23, 2018 Source: PLOS Summary: 'The current approach for treatment of filovirus infections with antibody cocktails tested in animal ...

Filovirus disease is characterized by uncontrolled virus replication and the activation of host responses that contribute to pathogenesis. ... E. Filovirus replication and transcription.

Both are encased by lipid membranes. The complete genome of a filovirus is roughly 18,900-19,000 bases in length, measuring around 14,000 nanometers in length, and 80 nanometers in diameter.

Vaccines that induce protective T-cell responses could protect against members across the filovirus family, according to a study published February 28 in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by ...

Filoviruses like Ebola 'edit' genetic material as they invade their hosts, ... Antiviral treatments strive to block a virus or halt its replication. However, viruses are ...

This discovery could guide the development of universal antiviral therapies targeting multiple filoviruses, enhancing treatment options against Ebola and potentially other related viruses. Key ...

Encouragingly, these chemicals have been shown to prevent the replication of coronaviruses, influenza viruses, and filoviruses in mammalian cell culture. The SKI complex was originally identified ...
