Solutions for RSV vaccine and drug development

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus, (HRSV) is a negative-stranded RNA virus of the Pneumoviridae family (genus Orthopneumovirus) that can inflict potentially deadly respiratory tract infections in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals leading to approximately 50,000 deaths of children under 5 per year.

The HRSV genome is about 15.2kb in length and encodes for 11 proteins. RSV surface fusion protein (F) and attachment (G) glycoproteins play important roles in mediating infection and are both major targets of the humoral immune response. RSV F is well conserved while G is highly variable, with the two antigenic subgroups of RSV (A and B) being defined primarily by differences in the G protein. Vaccine and therapeutics development efforts have largely focused on RSV F.

RSV F is a type I fusion protein that rearranges from a metastable prefusion conformation to a highly stable postfusion structure. Based on the structural research on RSV F protein, there are at least 7 different antigenic epitopes that have been identified, termed Site Ø, I, II, III, IV, V, and a quaternary dependent (QD) site. Of these sites, only I, II, and IV are exposed on the post-F form. The post-F form has been found to elicit relatively weaker neutralizing antibodies that fail to stop infection. The pre-fusion form has been proven to induce more efficient neutralizing antibodies, while the post-fusion form can be used as a control for screening for pre-specific antibody.
