This review seeks to familiarize the readers with RSV rapid antigen-detection tests, describe their performance characteristics and comment on their strengths and weaknesses. The authors will ...

This evanescent but critical antigen-binding site made RSV vaccine development difficult. However, mRNA technology allows “more hypothesis-driven complex vaccine design”, says Carfi ...

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a highly contagious respiratory illness that primarily affects infants and older adults, ...

just as COVID-19 and RSV rates were finally falling in the US. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 19.6% of antigen tests and nearly 11% of PCR tests for human ...

While the spread of viruses isn't necessarily abnormal for this time of year, it’s crucial for families to stay informed and ...

Among adults aged 75 and older, RSV was linked to a substantial burden of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and in-hospital deaths before vaccines were available.

HMPV and RSV are primarily diagnosed through PCR tests, which detect the genetic material of the virus. Other diagnostic methods include antigen detection and viral culture, but PCR remains the ...

identified a protein in RSV a decade ago that looked like a promising antigen for vaccine development. Both Arexvy and Abrysvo target this PreF protein, as do other candidates in the late-stage ...

The FDA will review a new prefilled syringe presentation of Shingrix (zoster vaccine recombinant, adjuvanted).

GSK’s marketed vaccines target infectious diseases at every stage of life, protecting people from meningitis, shingles, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), flu, polio and many more. Every day ...

The second group of viral antigen-based techniques consists of commercially available immunoassays, commonly referred to as RADTs. Compared with IF, the principle of RSV RADTs is similar in that a ...
