Tetherin results published in Cell Reports

[Translate to English:]

The Ebola virus glycoprotein is release from cells within non-infectious particles, termed virosomes. Virosomes function as antibody decoys and interfere with macrophage function. Release of virosomes is blocked by the interferon-induced antiviral host cell protein tetherin. These results were published in the respected journal Cell Reports.
