WHO asks for Ebola anti-body from Siriraj for lab test
The World Health Organisation has requested for a sample of therapeutic antibody for Ebola virus from Siriraj Hospital, clinical Prof Dr Udom Kachintorn, dean of Mahidol University's Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, said Friday.
He said the WHO wanted to try applying the anti-body with the real Ebola in its Bio-safety Level 4 laboratory in the United States.
He said if the anti-body works effectively, WHO may develop it as a cure for the the deadly Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever, and thus cutting the process of trials in the animals and human beings.
