human donors showed that Ebola virus directly binds to T - cells through Tim - 1 protein binding and causes massive inflammation that thwarts the immune system.

«Our results
show that, in an era in which high - resolution molecular typing for class I and class II HLA [
human leukocyte antigen] loci has significantly improved the clinical outcome of unrelated
donor HSCT by decreasing the risk of immunological complications, lowering the ATLG dose to 15 mg / kg did not affect the time to engraftment and, more importantly, the incidence of acute or chronic GVHD [graft - vs - host disease], and was associated with an improved probability of event - free survival, mainly due to a reduced risk of nonrelapse mortality,» wrote Franco Locatelli, MD, of the department of oncoematologia pediatrica, IRCCS Ospedale «Bambino Gesù» in Rome, and colleagues.
