The fusion glycoprotein, F, of human respiratory syncytial virus is a principal target of neutralising antibodies and an important protective immunogen. Among sub-group A strains of the virus the F gene is highly conserved. A comparison of F gene sequences of two sub-group B strains, 8/60 and 18537,

The sites of linear epitopes in a variable region of the attachment (G) glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that are recognised by the human antibody response were examined. Two sets of overlapping 12mer peptides each representing the carboxy-terminal 84 or 85 amino acids of the G prot
The serum antibody responses of babies to the variable carboxy-terminal region of the attachment ( G ) protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have been analysed using paired acute and convalescent sera from infants experiencing their first RSV infection with viruses of known genotype. The vari
