Abstract excerpt
Introduction: The fusion glycoprotein (F protein) of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) critically determines viral infectivity and host immune recognition. This study evaluated the effects of F protein genetic variations from the globally dominant HRSV genotypes ON1 and BA9 on viral replication dynamics and pathogenicity. Methods: Using a reverse genetics system, two recombinant HRSV strains,...
