Ultraspecific diagnostic test for Ebola virus

The Stevens Group’s paper “A serological point-of-care test for the detection of IgG antibodies against Ebola virus in human survivors” reports on an ultraspecific diagnostic test capable of distinguishing different strains of the Ebola virus in serum from survivors in Uganda. This work involved members Polina Brangel and Philip Howes and is supported by the EPSRC IRC “i-sense” consortium and our collaborators within “i-sense”.
