According to Thai scientists, the discovery of a new type of antibody against the Ebola virus is 'more effective' than those that already exist they claimed. However, the potential new cure is still awaiting animal and human trials.
'It is a new antibody structure, a new mechanism to kill the Ebola fever in the most effective manner,’
Positive results are expected when trials are conducted on animals in the laboratory and on humans, said Udom
According to his research, this new antibody is small enough to enter the infected cells and destroy the Ebola proteins.
It is harmless to humans as it is developed from human cells and can reproduce in large quantities.
The researchers indicated that it would take a year for an experimental vaccine to be developed, although this period could be shortened with the availability of more funding and better facilities.
In six months, Ebola has infected 6553 people and killed 3100 in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, three of the countries worst-affected by the epidemic in western Africa
NB: A commentator made this wonderful comment about USA that continues to make to test this and that thus: ‘that will be wonderful. It will eliminate Ebola worldwide except for in the United States where the FDA will continue to test it for years until Big Pharma can get a patent on it and the people at the top of the FDA food chain have wrung as much under the table cash out of Big Pharma as they can.’
