Respiratory Syncytial Virus Fusion (F) protein Site II (RSV F protein Site II)

Target
RSV F protein Site II
Molecular classification
Viral protein, Fusion protein, Type I integral membrane protein, Glycoprotein
01

Overview

The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) F protein is a type I integral membrane fusion glycoprotein essential for viral entry into host cells. Site II is one of several well-characterized antigenic regions on both preF and postF forms. Antibodies targeting site II can neutralize RSV by blocking its ability to fuse with host membranes.
