United States scientists, found that Ebola carries a protein called VP24 which interferes with a molecule called interferon that is vital to the immune response. One of the scientists, Chris Basler, from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, who worked on the study, said that the Ebola Virus disrupts the body’s immune system. “One of the key reasons that Ebola virus is so deadly is because it disrupts the body’s immune response to the infection. “Figuring out how VP24 promotes this disruption will suggest new ways to defeat the virus”, he added. The team, led by Gaya Amarasinghe from Washington University School of Medicine, found that VP24 works by stopping something called “transcription factor STAT1″, which carries interferon’s antiviral message from entering the nucleus of a cell Read More: http://ask9ja..com/2014/08/scientist-discovers-how-ebola-virus.html |
