The Secret Life of Viral Entry Glycoproteins: Moonlighting in Immune Evasion

Abstract excerpt

Survival of infection with Ebola virus (EBOV) depends on the ability of the host to mount early and strong immune responses [1], [2]. However, given that EBOV cases are associated with 40%–90% human mortality, EBOV has developed intricate solutions to human immunological defenses.
