摘要: Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) infection rapidly outruns the host's immunity and leads to death within a week. Fatal cases have been associated with an aberrant innate, proinflammatory immune response followed by suppressed adaptive leading rapid depletion of peripheral NK cells lymphocytes. A critical role for has suggested but not elucidated. In this genetic study, we investigated association KIR genotype disease outcome comparing genotypes Gabonese control population, IgG+ contacts, survivors, fatalities ZEBOV infection. We showed that activating KIR2DS1 KIR2DS3 genes associate fatal in Ebola virus addition, study brings supplemental evidence favor specificity contact population. The fulminating could depend part on inherited gene repertoire. This supports key KIRs susceptibility infections.
