IgY antibodies against Ebola virus possess post-exposure protection in a murine pseudovirus challenge model and excellent thermostability

The therapeutic efficacy of immune IgY antibodies in vivo was evaluated in newborn Balb/c mice who have been challenged with the VSVΔG/EBOVGP model and shows a lot of promise in entering the realm of efficient Ebola virus treatment regimens.

Infection and immunity: insights and therapeutic strategies through genomic analysis of the host, pathogen, and host–pathogen interaction

This special issue of Genome Medicine highlights the ways in which state-of-the-art genomic-sequencing technologies, systems biology, and bioinformatics are advancing research into pathogens and the immune response, as well as applications in surveillance, detection, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic design to prevent and treat infection.
