Vaccines against both viruses, however, have been difficult to design. Now, Scripps Research scientists have analyzed the ...

Here, we describe the epidemiology of RSV, the RSV virion structure, key neutralizing epitopes on the pre- and post-fusion forms of the fusion protein and implications for vaccine development.

A new technique for studying the structure of the RSV virion and the activity of RSV in living cells could help researchers unlock the secrets of the virus, including how it enters cells, how it ...

Updated 6:20 p.m. on Sept. 22, 2023 Every fall, when the air turns chilly and the leaves red, pediatric ICUs begin preparing for the onslaught of the virus known as RSV. Not flu, not COVID, but ...

Graham, who was leading RSV vaccine efforts there, learned that McLellan, who specialized in mapping the atomic structure of proteins, wanted to work on something “a little off the radar ...

Scientists have long known that an RSV protein, known as NS1, is behind the virus’ ability to evade the immune response, but the protein’s structure has been unknown until now.
