About this document
Macrophages and Dendritic Cells in Ebola Pathogenesis by David Brayan Reyna Gomez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study on the role of macrophages and dendritic cells in the pathogenesis of Ebola virus disease. The study found that in infected macaques, Ebola virus replicates in macrophages and dendritic cells. These infected cells secrete inflammatory molecules but cannot control viral replication or initiate immune responses. As a result, the virus disseminates throughout the body, causing tissue damage and immune suppression. Treating infected macaques with a tissue factor inhibitor reduce
