Project description:Immune patterns in Ebola patients were characterized depending on the outcome of the illness. Non-healthy controls were compared to Ebola patients to define the specificity of the immune response against Ebola virus infection.
Project description:The purpose is to obtain samples for mRNA analysis in human U937 cells infected with Zaire Ebola virus wild-type in the deltaVP30 background and delta-mucin virus. Human U937 cells (monocyte-like) expressing the Ebola VP30 protein were infected with Zaire Ebola virus wild-type (wild) in the delta-VP30 background and delta-mucin virus (encodes a GP lacking the mucin domain) (mucin). Infected samples were collected in quintuplet; time-matched mocks were collected in quintuplet in parallel with infected samples. Time points: 0, 8, 18, and 30 h post-infection.
Project description:The purpose is to obtain samples for microRNA analysis in human liver Huh cells using the following viruses obtained by reverse genetics: Zaire Ebola virus wild-type (WT) in the ΔVP30 background (wild), ΔsGP virus (eliminates expression of soluble glycoprotein [GP]) (ssGP), and Δmucin virus (encodes a GP lacking the mucin domain) (mucin).
Project description:Ebola virus can cause a severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and other mammals, known as Ebola virus disease (EVD),the mechanism of how this pathogenesis comes about is not well understood, It is assumed that miRNA may have important roles in virus infection response. To better understand the function of miRNA in EBOV infection disease, we undertook a miRNA profiling analysis using the whole blood of EBOV infection patients.

Project description:Ebola virus can cause a severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and other mammals, known as Ebola virus disease (EVD),the mechanism of how this pathogenesis comes about is not well understood, but it is well accepted that pathogenesis is significantly driven by a hyperactive immune response. To better understand the overall response to Ebola virus challenge, we undertook a transcriptomic analysis using the whole blood of EBOV infection patients.
