                                1. the proportion of deaths within a designated population of "cases"
                                2. Infection
                                  1. Steps of infection
                                    1. Step 1
                                      1. Endothelial Cells
                                        1. ECs line vessels in every organ system and regulate the flow of nutrient substances, diverse biologically active molecules, and the blood cells themselves.
                                        2. Mononuclear Phagocytes
                                          1. Defined as a family of cells comprising bone marrow progenitors, blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. Macrophages are a major cell population in most of the tissues in the body.
                                          2. Hepatocytes
                                            1. Cells of the liver that perform an astonishing number of metabolic, endocrine and secretory functions
                                          3. Step 2
                                            1. Evade the host immune system
                                            2. Step 3
                                              1. Damages internal tissues and organs, such as blood vessels and the liver: ultimately death.
                                            3. Transmission
                                              1. Contact with Body Fluids
                                                1. Aerosol infection not proved clinically
                                                  1. Droplets: land directly on mucosal lining of nose, mouth, eyes of nearby persons or can be inhaled. Highest exposures within 3-6 feet.
                                                    1. Airborne: aerosols become smaller by evaporation; small aerosols (≤ 10 microns) remain suspended for longer periods, if inhaled travel deep into the lungs.
                                                      1. Contact: Aerosols/ secretions contaminate nearby surface. Touch surfaces can infect self or others.
                                                    2. Symptoms
                                                      1. 2 - 21 days
                                                        1. fever, muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting
                                                        2. 21< days
                                                          1. haemorrhagic diathesis, delirium and shock
                                                      2. ZMapp
                                                        1. Efficacy of 4/5 patients
                                                          1. Experimental drug co-developed by Mapp Biophamaceutical, Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA) and Defyrus 2 Zhang. (Toronto, Canada).
                                                            1. Combination of three “humanized” monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the EBOV GP protein.
                                                              1. Monoclonal antibodies mimic the antibodies your body naturally produces as part of your immune system's response to germs, vaccines and other invaders.
                                                              2. Produced in plant: 3
                                                                1. MAbs produced in these glycomodified plants had mammalian-like glycans with more homogeneous glycoforms than that produced in CHO cells
                                                                  1. Glycans: large number of monosaccharides linked glycosidically
                                                                2. History
                                                                  1. Plant made antibody studies
                                                                    1. First Wave: Production of monoclonal antibodies (1989)
                                                                      1. Transgenic Technology
                                                                        1. Delivery of genes of interest into plant cells, subsequent integration of theses genes into the parental plant chromosome, and selection of stable transgenic plants.
                                                                          1. Stopped by a number of issues associated with this expression strategy, including low expression levels, long timeframes to generate transgenic plants, undesired glycosylation patterns, and concerns on spreading transgenes into the environment
                                                                        2. Second Wave: replica- tion-competent viral vectors, such as magnICON and Gemini
                                                                          1. These vectors contain elements required for viral replicon formation. Once delivered into plant cells via Agrobacterium infiltration, these vectors are able to assem- ble into replicons, which undergo automatic replication and result in a high copy number of RNA molecules encoding the desired antibody.
                                                                            1. Indoor production
                                                                              1. No spreading of recombinant genes by pollination
