摘要:
Using the MBGV GP, NP, and virion proteins, a method and composition for use in inducing an immune response which is protective against infection with MBGV in nonhuman primates is described.
摘要:
An approach to genetic vaccine methodology is described. A genetic construction encoding antigenic determinants of a filovirus is transfected into cells of the vaccinated individuals using a particle acceleration protocol so as to express the viral antigens in healthy cells to produce an immune response to those antigens.
摘要:
In this application are described filovirus-like particles for both Ebola and Marburg and their use as a diagnostic and therapeutic agent as well as a filovirus vaccine. Also described is the association of Ebola and Marburg with lipid rafts during assembly and budding, and the requirement of functional rafts for entry of filoviruses into cells.
