A team of scientists has uncovered the remarkable potential of a human antibody, mAb 3A6, in fighting Ebola virus infections. Sourced from a survivor of the devastating 2014–2016 outbreak, this ...

The stalk is an important part of the Ebola virus structure because it anchors Ebola's glycoprotein structure (which drives entry into a host cell) to Ebola's viral membrane.

The Sudan and Ebola viruses both come from the orthoebola virus family, but they have different proteins and genetic components, so the immune response to each virus is different.

The Sudan and Ebola viruses both come from the orthoebolavirus family, but they have different proteins and genetic components, so the immune response to each virus is different.

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no approved treatments exist. To address this critical ...
