Amino acid variation within the fusion protein of respiratory syncytial virus subtype A and B strains during annual epidemics in South Africa.

Virus genes - 1 Mar 2005

Agenbach Elizabeth, Tiemessen Caroline T, Venter Marietjie

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence of positive selection within the cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) epitopes of the highly conserved nucleoprotein of influenza virus raised the question of whether the CTL epitopes of Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are also affected by immune driven change over annual epidemics. The fusion protein (F-protein) of RSV is highly conserved within the two subtypes (A and B) and the most important target for...
