Ebola is probably the world's most deadly virus, but its mode of entry is still probably the same as any virus. To understand how to cure ebola might require the ability to detect the virus in our bodies and produce effective antibodies. Research has found a key protein known as VP35. VP35 interfered with the natural resistance of the host cell against viral infection. How, it doesn't say. But, now that they have the protein's structure, the one that interferes with the immune system, they can now design a drug. Without VP35, ebola cannot replicate.
