Ebola virus-mediated T-lymphocyte depletion is the result of an abortive infection
24 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Ebola virus (EBOV) infections are characterized by a pronounced lymphopenia that is highly correlative with fatalities.However, the mechanisms leading to T-cell depletion remain largely unknown.Here, we demonstrate that both viral mRNAs and antigens are detectable in CD4 + T cells despite the absence of productive infection.A protein phosphatase 1 inhibitor, 1E7-03, and siRNA-mediated suppression of viral...
