Discovery of an antibody for pan-ebolavirus therapy
During the latest outbreak of Ebola virus disease in West Africa, monoclonal antibody therapy (e.g., ZMapp) was utilized to treat patients. However, due to the antigenic differences among the five ebolavirus species, the current therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are only effective against viruses of the species Zaire ebolavirus. Although this particular species has indeed caused the majority of...
متن کاملNeutralizing the Threat: Pan-Ebolavirus Antibodies Close the Loop.
The glycoprotein (GP) of ebolaviruses participates in a critical membrane fusion process to establish infection of a cell and therefore, represents an important target of both vaccines and antivirals. The latest reports on pan-ebolavirus monoclonal antibodies in small animal models may offer promising outcomes and insight into how best to target the GP in vaccine and antiviral discovery.
متن کاملCharacterization of Influenza Virus Pseudotyped with Ebolavirus Glycoprotein
We have produced a new Ebola virus pseudotype, E-S-FLU, that can be handled in biosafety level 1/2 containment for laboratory analysis. The E-S-FLU virus is a single-cycle influenza virus coated with Ebolavirus glycoprotein, and it encodes enhanced green fluorescence protein as a reporter that replaces the influenza virus hemagglutinin. MDCK-SIAT1 cells were transduced to express Ebolavirus gly...
متن کاملEbolavirus comparative genomics
The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest documented for this virus. To examine the dynamics of this genome, we compare more than 100 currently available ebolavirus genomes to each other and to other viral genomes. Based on oligomer frequency analysis, the family Filoviridae forms a distinct group from all other sequenced viral genomes. All filovirus genomes sequenced to date encode...
متن کاملPan-ebolavirus and Pan-filovirus Mouse Monoclonal Antibodies: Protection against Ebola and Sudan Viruses.
UNLABELLED The unprecedented 2014-2015 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa has highlighted the need for effective therapeutics against filoviruses. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) cocktails have shown great potential as EVD therapeutics; however, the existing protective MAbs are virus species specific. Here we report the development of pan-ebolavirus and pan-filovirus antibodies generat...
