Antibody Cocktail Cures Monkeys of Ebola

ananyo writes "Monkeys infected with Ebola have been cured by a cocktail of three antibodies first administered 24 hours or more after exposure. The result raises hopes that a future treatment could improve the chances of humans surviving the disease caused by the deadly virus, which kills up to 90% of infected people and could potentially be used as a biological weapon. Most treatment regimes tested to date only improve chances of survival if administered within one hour of infection (abstract)."

Why did this get modded down? Seems like a perfectly reasonable question from a concerned party.

"BTW mods; there is nothing wrong with the occasional question from our simian relatives."

Questions from the subjects are prejudicial to good simian discipline.

Order requires credible threat of force, so I spank my monkey constantly.
