In Italy, going to College will cost you just $1,000 a year in tuition
there are 5 ebola viruses but only 4 cause disease in Humans
Here is the Technology to clone antibodies directly from B_ cells:

One limitations of the antibodies found in the blood of survivors is that most of them would be directed against epitopes found on the outside of the virus. One of the reasons we should make an effort to genetically engineer antibodies is that we could build them to attack viral targets inside the infected cells, which are typically hidden from antibodies circulating in the blood stream. We could accomplish this by attaching membrane translocation sequences (MTS) to the engineered antibodies.
the result would be something like this:

This technology would improve on Zmapp by increasing the number of targets and the numbers of targeted epitopes, and it would also allow the antibodies to disrupt the viral replication inside cells, as they could be targeted to viral polymerases.
