Deskripsi

Monoclonal antibodies to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease are under development, but the molecular requirements for cross-subtype neutralization are unclear. Here, the authors show that residue 201 in RSV fusion protein determines subtype specific neutralization for the clinically-relevant monoclonal antibody, 5C4.
