Webinar – Anita McElroy – Mapping human immune responses to Ebola virus infection provides insight into viral pathogenesis

Monday 7th June 2021 at Online Webinar

This webinar will describe the cellular immune landscape that occurs following Ebola virus infection and will correlate these findings with key features of Ebola virus disease. Attendees will learn about Ebola virus induced T cell activation, B cell expansion and monocyte redistribution as well as alterations in dendritic cells that could be clues as to why Ebola virus disease is so severe.
