Tulane receives multi-million grant for hemorrhagic fever research

Lassa fever is spread easily from person to person," Garry says.

"We plan to make viral proteins by recombinant techniques in large amounts, to work in assays to diagnose the hemorrhagic fevers. We will make proteins that cannot cause the disease, and we'll make them for use in a biosafety level 1 lab, so these assays will be useable in the field in Africa."

Working on the study along with Garry and his team is Dan Bausch, associate professor of tropical medicine at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, who has extensive experience in West Africa.

The three companies participating in developing the new tests are: Autoimmune Technologies L.L.C. of New Orleans, BioFactura Inc. of Rockville, Md., and Corgenix Medical Corporation of Denver.
