Dr. M. Meyer and others in our lab, working with collaborators, completed a study published in Science TM. We compared the efficacy of 5 Ebola vaccines in NHPs and analyzed 139 immune parameters;Fc-mediated effects and GP specificity are central to protection. #VACCINE #immunity

In a new paper in Cell Reports, our lab, working with the lab of Raul Andino, UCSF, demonstrated ADAR editing of Ebola genome during passages in bat but not in human cells. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #Ebola #antibody #bats #virus #utmb #pathology

cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f… Some antibodies in the survivor of Marburg viurus infection bind to the envelope protein of the virus and recruit immune cells that kill infected cells, and also rearrange the protein to facilitate access for other antibodies which kill the virus.

Scientists in our lab found several candidate microRNAs in human and bat cells infected with Ebola virus. We found evidence contrary to the idea that these small RNA products function as microRNAs. jvi.asm.org/content/early/20…
