| abstract |
The present invention provides immunogens comprising a recombinant Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) F protein stabilized in a prefusion conformation and nucleic acids encoding such immunogens. In particular the present invention provides polypeptides, polynucleotides, compositions, and uses thereof for eliciting an immune response to bovine respiratory syncytial virus (bRSV). Methods for generating an immune response in a subject are also disclosed. In some embodiments, the method is a method for treating or preventing a RSV infection in a subject by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the antigen to the subject. |
