[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that the thing that "kicks" the ebola virus, and eliminates it from your system are your antibodies, but they take a couple weeks for you body to produce, and if you don't get excellent medical care you'll probably be dead before you have enough to be helpful. The serum from a survivor is essentially a transfusion of antibodies, so your body doesn't have to wait to make it's own. Therefore it shortens the duration of the disease. In contrast ZMapp or other drugs work in other ways, which might be great at reducing the intensity of the symptoms. or doing other wonderful things. [b]Amber and Nina got serum very early,[/b] which may have made all the difference in the duration of their disease.[/quote] Do we know for sure that Amber got the blood transfusion? I know Nina did, but never saw anything reported with respect to nurse #2.[/quote]
