Snippet: Filovirus infections are characterized by marked lymphopenia, severe degeneration of lymphoid tissues, dysregulated dendritic cell function, and cytokine storms-all hallmarks of pathogens that subvert both innate and adaptive immune responses [14] . Nevertheless, survivors exhibit detectable virusspecific antibody responses [15] .

Document: Filovirus infections are characterized by marked lymphopenia, severe degeneration of lymphoid tissues, dysregulated dendritic cell function, and cytokine storms-all hallmarks of pathogens that subvert both innate and adaptive immune responses [14] . Nevertheless, survivors exhibit detectable virusspecific antibody responses [15] . Therefore, we hypothesized that administration of a recombinant innate immune molecule that targets glycosylated viruses might bridge an infected individual to recovery. Here we show for the first time that rhMBL can be used as a therapeutic agent to achieve serum concentrations in mice that correspond to levels in humans that are 7-24-fold higher than average human concentrations and complement cleaving activity that is .5-fold higher than baseline values in mice. This result confirms our previous in vitro data showing that MBL possesses complement-dependent intrinsic antimicrobial activity [2] .
