Relevance of Ebola virus VP35 homo-dimerization on the type I interferon cascade inhibition

Ebola virus high lethality relies on its ability to efficiently bypass the host innate antiviral response, which senses the viral dsRNA through the RIG-I receptor and induces type I interferon α/β production. In the bypassing action, the Ebola virus protein VP35 plays a pivotal role at multiple leve...
