Scientists discover human antibodies to fight Ebola virus

US Scientists have discovered a possible cure for all five known Ebola viruses, one of which ravaged (तबाह) West Africa in recent years.  The so-called broadly neutralizing(निष्क्रिय) antibodies were

discovered in the blood of a survivor of the West African epidemic.  Kartik Chandran, a Professor in the Department of Microbiology (कीटाणु-विज्ञान) and Immunology (प्रतिरक्षाविज्ञान) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, helped identify the antibodies. He is optimistic(आशावादी) that the antibodies can be used as a single therapy to treat all Ebola viruses. The deadly virus killed more than 11,000 people of the nearly 29,000 who became infected in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
