Ebola virus disease (EVD), which is also referred to as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a highly
contagious and frequently lethal sickness caused by the Ebola virus. In 1976, the disease …

The human leukocyte antigen system (HLA) is a cluster of highly polymorphic genes
essential for the proper function of the immune system, and it has been associated with a …

Interactions of killer cell immunoglobin-like receptors (KIR) with human leukocyte antigens

Background Long-term persistence of Ebola virus (EBOV) in immunologically privileged
sites has been implicated in recent outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Guinea and …

NK cells have usually been defined as cells of the innate immune system, although they are

Ebola virus is a zoonotic virus comprised of 6 different species designated within the family
Filo-viridae and genus Ebolavirus. The first recorded outbreak of an Ebola virus (EBOV) was …

Natural killer (NK) cell development largely depends on killer cell immunoglobulin-like
receptors (KIRs) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands. In the current study, we …

Ebola drug discovery continues to be challenging as yet. Proteins of the virus should be
