University of Guelph researchers reveal new way to potentially fight Ebola

(University of Guelph) University of Guelph researchers have shown an innovative antibody delivery method could be an effective way to prevent and treat Ebola infection. They proved that delivering a monoclonal antibody gene to a cell through a viral vector -- a process that bypasses the need for the host to generate a natural immune response -- provided up to 100-per-cent protection against infection in mice. The mice expressed the antibody for more than 300 days.
