RSV is a labile paramyxovirus that produces a characteristic fusion of human cells in tissue culture--the syncytial effect. Two subtypes, A and B, have been identified. Subtype B are characterized as the asymptomatic strains of the virus. The more severe clinical illnesses involve Subtype A strains.
Specificity
Blend of all RSV specifications of MAB858-1, 2 and 3. Recognizes the fusion, G, and nuclear protein of both A and B strains.
Immunogen
A2

Prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is now a global health priority, with a long-acting monoclonal antibody and two RSV vaccines recently licenced for clinical use. Most licenced and candidate interventions target the RSV fusion (RSV-F) protein. New interventions

Premature infants and those with chronic lung disease or congenital heart disease are at high risk of severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease. Palivizumab (Synagis), a humanized anti-RSV monoclonal antibody, has been used extensively since 1998 to prevent severe RSV
Respiratory viral infections remain a major cause of hospitalization and death worldwide. Patients with respiratory infections often lose weight. While acute weight loss is speculated to be a tolerance mechanism to limit pathogen growth, severe weight loss following infection can
Syncytia formation is the hallmark of the cytopathic effect caused by human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), which is the most important viral respiratory pathogen in children. This article reports methodological improvements in primary HRSV isolation and the importance of syncytia

Defective interfering viral particles have been reported as important determinants of the course of viral infection, and they can markedly temper the virulence of the infection. Here, we describe a simple method, based on limiting dilution, for the removal of
