Scientists have long attempted to create vaccines that coax the immune system into recognizing the fusion (F) proteins present on the surfaces of RSV, hMPV and related viruses. These proteins play ...

First, they must enter the host cells, which RSV does using its fusion (F) protein. Vaccines induce antibodies that bind to pathogens. Neutralizing antibodies bind to crucial sites, such as part ...

Palivizumab (Synagis; MedImmune/Abbott) is a humanized murine monoclonal antibody against the RSV fusion protein that prevents the spread of virus to the lower respiratory tract 2. It was approved ...

Palivizumab injection is used to prevent serious lung infection in children and babies caused by respiratory syncytial virus ...

which used McLellan and Graham’s research to stabilize the RSV fusion protein and enable the body to develop strong antibodies against it, according to UT. “Getting into structure-based vacc ...
