Non-specific anti-viral approach towards Ebola virus infection: a comment on “Against Ebola: type I interferon guard risk and mesenchymal stromal cell combat sepsis”

摘要

The recent"Viewpoint"by Zhang et al.(2015)entitled"Against Ebola:type I interferon guard risk and mesenchymal stromal cell combat sepsis",published in Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE B(Biomedicine&Biotechnology),is very interesting,which mentioned the possible role of non-specific anti-viral approach towards Ebola virus infection.They noted the role of interferon and"applying a non-specific anti-viral approach during the incubation period of virus infection as an essential protection to put the host’s immune system into an alert state and henceforth to slow down the viral replication."In previous report,Zhang and Wang(2014)
