This peptide of 40 amino acids is the product of variant envelope glycoprotein production, which occurs via differential mRNA editing (Sanchez et al, 1996; Volchkova et al, 2015). It corresponds to the carboxyl-terminal 40 amino-acid sequence of the soluble secreted form of the glycoprotein, which is the product of unedited glycoprotein mRNA. The peptide is produced in abundance during Ebola virus disease. Delta peptide can permeabilise the plasma membranes of nucleated cells of rodent, dog, monkey, and human origin and to increase ion permeability across confluent cell monolayers, showing that it is a pathogenicity factor with the characteristics of a
