Amino Acid Substitutions in the Fusion Protein of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Fukushima, Japan, During 2008–2023 and Their Effects
24 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Amino acid (AA) substitutions in the fusion (F) protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and their effects on antibody susceptibility remain unclear. We analyzed AA substitutions in the main neutralizing epitopes of the F protein. METHODS: We analyzed F protein genes of 236 RSV strains isolated from children hospitalized with RSV infection in Fukushima, Japan (June 2008-February 2023). AA...
