Interferon-alpha treatment decreases the Ebola virus induced cytopathic effects in Vero E6 cultures. Phasecontrast image of IFN-alpha treated and non-treated cells 72 hrs post-infection shows an efficient inhibition of rounding up (top right panel). Fluorescence staining for NP (red) and DNA (blue) is superimposed on the phase contrast image (bottom panel).
