Although wild-type EBOV infection in IFN-γ receptor KO mice has never been tested, our data are also in line with the fact that IFN-γ treatment of C57BL/6 IFN γ receptor KO mouse macrophages or of BALB/c IFN α/β receptor KO mice inhibited virus infection by EBOV GP/rVSV [58]. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is viral infectious disease.
