Related Product Information for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Long Strain infectious disease
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (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.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the most important cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in infants and small children(1,2). Like the other respiratory viruses, RSV causes a range of respiratory illness, the most common being a cold with profuse rhinorrhea. RSV infections appear in large outbreaks every winter. RSV is very contagious, and most children have experienced infection by 2 years of age. Immunity to RSV does not prevent re-infections. Re-infections tend to be less severe than primary infections and occur throughout life. RSV also can be an unusual cause of significant respiratory illness in normal and elderly adults. In normal infants and children, the virus is shed for 2 to 3 weeks overall or 1 to 2 weeks after the children appear in the hospital(3). ecause of its high infectivity and because hospital staff as well as patients are susceptible, RSV has emerged as the most frequent cause of infections on pediatric wards(4).
Various RSV differences between strains are probably of little or no practical importance from a point of view, since available reagents, including monoclonal antibodies, react equally with all clinical isolates. RSV is recovered almost exclusively from the respiratory tract. The specimens containing the most abundant virus are secretions obtained early in the course of the illness.
In general, it is more satisfactory to make a specific identification of RSV infection by recovery of the virus (or identification by rapid methods) from a properly obtained and handled secretion specimen than by serological methods. Serological methods are often of secondary importance, although in large studies they may give valuable information, and in individual instances in which cultures were not obtained they may be well worth performing.

Product Notes
The Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Long Strain (Catalog #AAA655111) is an Infectious Disease and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Suitable for use in ELISA test kits as a positive control or antigen for serological testing. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Long Strain for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Long Strain, Infectious Disease" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
