Antigen Study Shows Promise for a Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine
Medical researchers have been trying to develop a vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) for more than 50 years, without success. New findings however, point to a promising route for designing an effective vaccine. Researchers determined the atomic structure of RSV G (major viral surface protein) and identified two sites on it that are targeted by protective antibodies effective against a broad range of RSV strains.
