Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
About RSV
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family of pneumoviridae. The spherical envelope structure of the virus is comprised of a lipid layer and transmembrane surface proteins such as glycoproteins, fusion proteins, and small hydrophobic proteins. Moreover, the inner helical nucleocapsid formation is surrounded by matrix proteins, and other regulatory proteins. Human RSV distinguishes between two antigen subtypes (A and B).RSV Infections
RSV transmission typically occurs via droplet. While RSV infection is common in all age groups usually causing cold-like symptoms, the amount of symptoms are amplified and more pronounced in children, infants and elderly in the form of lower and upper respiratory tract infections (bronchiolitis), nasal congestion, and fever.
Worldwide this virus is the leading cause of pneumonia in infants, with 30M According to the WHO hospitalization rates and 60.000 deaths attributed to the infection. In Winter 2022/2023 hospitalization rates for infants and children surged to seven times the rate of 2018, pre SARS-CoV-2 pandemic measures, pushing the need for current vaccines development and treatment innovations.
JPT provides a plethora of different PepMix Peptide Pools and PepStar Peptide Microarrays for epitope mapping, and cellular and humoral immune monitoring, respectively, for both Human RSV-A and RSV-B.
