Some 18 million years ago, an ancestor of mouse-eared bats 'stole' genetic material from an ancient virus related to Ebola. The swiped genetic sequence -- a gene called VP35 -- has remained largely ...

Ebola viral protein 35 (VP35), encoded by the highly pathogenic Ebola virus, facilitates host immune evasion by antagonizing antiviral signaling pathways, including those initiated by RIG-I–like ...

Scientists are a step closer to finding a way to counter the Ebola virus. They have recently solved the structure from a key part of the Ebola protein known as VP35. Research led by Iowa State ...

Research led by Iowa State University scientists has them a step closer to finding a way to counter the Ebola virus. A team led by Gaya Amarasinghe, an assistant professor in biochemistry, biophysics ...

Researchers are now a step closer to conquering the ebola virus after recently uncovering the structure of a key part of the Ebola protein - the VP35. VP35 interferes with the natural resistance of ...

Opening the door to potential treatments for the deadly Ebola virus, scientists have found that a protein made by the virus plays a role similar to that of a coat-check attendant. The protein removes ...

Some 18 million years ago, an ancestor of mouse-eared bats “stole” genetic material from an ancient virus related to Ebola. The swiped genetic sequence — a gene called VP35 — has remained largely ...

This visual abstract depicts the work that demonstrates that immune evasion functions of the VP35 protein of the Ebola virus are critical for virulence in non-human primates. A VP35 mutant Ebola virus ...
