Ebola Fever
Effects of Ebola virus glycoproteins on endothelial cell activation outlined
Published in TB and Outbreaks Week, September 20th, 2005
According to a study from Canada and Germany, "Ebola virus causes severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates in humans and nonhuman primates. Vascular instability and dysregulation are disease-decisive symptoms during severe infection. While the transmembrane glycoprotein GP1,2 has been shown to cause endothelial cell destruction, the role of the soluble glycoproteins in pathogenesis is largely unknown; however, they are hypothesized to be of biological relevance in terms of target cell...
