Host protein mimics viral protein to hinder infection by Ebola virus

Infection by Ebola virus can be fatal. The discovery of a human protein that mimics one type of Ebola protein and binds to another to suppress viral RNA production might aid the development of clinical treatments for the disease. The production of RNA by Ebola virus is suppressed by a human protein.
