RSV is so named from the formation of syncytia, or multinucleated masses of fused cells. Two virally specified surface glycoproteins are prominent in RSV. The large glycoprotein is designated G and the other fusion protein is designated F. In addition, two distinct groups may be present in RSV, Group A and/or Group B.

Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA and Neutralization. Other applications not tested.

Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
