Emergence of new antigenic epitopes in the glycoproteins of human respiratory syncytial virus collected from a US surveillance study, 2015–17
7 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and elderly. To understand the evolution of neutralizing epitopes on the RSV glycoprotein (G) and fusion (F) proteins, we conducted a multi-year surveillance program (OUTSMART-RSV) in the US. Analysis of 1,146 RSV samples from 2015-2017 revealed a slight shift in prevalence from RSV A (58.7%) to B (53.7%)...
