Serum syncytial virus antibody

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common virus that causes lower respiratory tract diseases in infants and young children. Respiratory syncytial virus is a single-stranded negative-stranded RNA virus with a spherical shape and a double-layered lipid capsule with spikes on the capsule, namely the G and F proteins. G has an adsorption effect on host cells, and F is a fusion protein. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) belongs to the pneumovirus family of the Paramyxoviridae family and has a complex structure. It is the most important pathogen of lower respiratory infections in infants and young children worldwide, especially infants with viral pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Therefore, it is significant to study the relationship between structure and function. The application of monoclonal antibody (McAb) technology has greatly promoted the understanding of RSV granular proteins.
