  • Ebolavirus pre-hairpin intermediate mimics and methods of use
    Patent number: 10189878
    Abstract: Ebolavirus is a highly lethal filovirus that causes hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. With no approved treatments or preventatives, the development of an anti-ebolavirus therapy to protect against natural infections and potential weaponization is an urgent unmet global health need. The design, biophysical characterization, and validation of peptide mimics of the ebolavirus N-trimer (“N-trimer mimics”) are described herein.
