T-cell-dependent mechanisms promote Ebola VLP-induced antibody responses, but are dispensable for vaccine-mediated protectionProtection from EBOV in the absence of antibodies

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2017
Humoral responses are essential for the protective efficacy of most Ebola virus (EBOV) candidate vaccines; however, the in vivo development of protective anti-EBOV B-cell responses is poorly defined.

An immunoinformatics-derived DNA vaccine encoding human class II T cell epitopes of Ebola virus, Sudan virus, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus is immunogenic in HLA transgenic mice

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
Immunoinformatics tools were used to predict human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II-restricted T cell epitopes within the envelope glycoproteins and nucleocapsid proteins of Ebola virus (EBOV) and Sudan virus (SUDV) and the structural proteins of ...

Staufen1 Interacts with Multiple Components of the Ebola Virus Ribonucleoprotein and Enhances Viral RNA Synthesis

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Ebola virus (EBOV) genome and mRNAs contain long, structured regions that could hijack host RNA-binding proteins to facilitate infection. We performed RNA affinity chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to identify host proteins that bind to EBOV ...

Transcriptomic analysis reveals a previously unknown role for CD8+ T-cells in rVSV-EBOV mediated protection

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Ebola virus (EBOV) poses a significant threat to human health as highlighted by the recent epidemic in West Africa. Data from animal studies and a ring vaccination clinical trial conducted in Guinea during the recent epidemic demonstrated that a ...

Portrait of a Killer: Genome of the 2014 EBOV Outbreak Strain [PDF]

open access: yesCell Host & Microbe, 2014
A recent study by Gire et al. (2014) identifies differences that make the 2014 West Africa Ebola virus unique and details how the virus spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone. This work highlights the power of new genomic technologies to facilitate rapid public health and scientific responses to the crisis.

Serine-Arginine Protein Kinase 1 Regulates Ebola Virus Transcription

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a severe and often fatal disease for which no approved vaccines or antivirals are currently available. EBOV VP30 has been described as a viral phosphoprotein, and nonphosphorylated VP30 is essential and sufficient to support ...

An immunotoxin targeting Ebola virus glycoprotein inhibits Ebola virus production from infected cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Ebola virus (EBOV), a member of the mononegaviral family Filoviridae, causes severe disease associated with high lethality in humans. Despite enormous progress in development of EBOV medical countermeasures, no anti-EBOV treatment has been approved.

Strength through Organization: Classifying Antibody Activity against EBOV [PDF]

open access: yesCell Host & Microbe, 2018
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe and in a related Cell paper, works by Gunn et al. (2018) and Saphire et al. (2018) describe a large number of monoclonal antibodies against Ebola virus (EBOV) and correlate their activity with in vivo protection.

Anti-EBOV GP IgGs Lacking α1-3-Galactose and Neu5Gc Prolong Survival and Decrease Blood Viral Load in EBOV-Infected Guinea Pigs

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2016
Polyclonal xenogenic IgGs, although having been used in the prevention and cure of severe infectious diseases, are highly immunogenic, which may restrict their usage in new applications such as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. IgG glycans display powerful xenogeneic antigens in humans, for example α1-3 Galactose and the glycolyl form of neuraminic acid Neu5Gc,

The transcriptomic profiling of SARS-CoV-2 compared to SARS, MERS, EBOV, and H1N1

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2020
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global crisis that threatens our way of life. As of November 18, 2020, SARS-CoV-2 has claimed more than 1,342,709 lives, with a global mortality rate of ~2.4% and a recovery rate of ~69.6%.
