Clinical trial planning for therapeutics is also underway for the DRC and may include MBP134 as well as Gilead's remdesivir

HHS didn't immediately respond to Qs about whether US will fund or help coordinate those trials, or development of a Bundibugyo-targeted vaccine

BARDA is coordinating shipment of an experimental antibody treatment for potential use in high-risk Americans exposed to #ebola, HHS tells CNN

Who is this “you” of whom you speak

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.
