U.S. health authorities have campaigned for years against smoking and using tobacco products to cut down on cancer deaths. But  Mapp Biopharmaceutical, a California company with only nine employees, developed the anti-Ebola serum it calls ZMapp from therapeutic proteins found inside tobacco plants. The company had seen favorable data from testing the drug on Ebola-infected monkeys, but it had not been sanctioned by U.S. health officials for use on humans.

The drug was administered to Kent Brantly, a doctor, and Nancy Writebol, a missionary, before they were flown back to the United States for treatment in an isolation tent at a hospital...
