Full Description
This volume presents a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art techniques used to investigate respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) at multiple levels, from atomic-resolution structural studies to in vivo infection models. It serves as an essential resource for virologists studying viral genome replication, transcription, and protein interactions, as well as immunologists exploring immune responses, pathogenesis, and vaccine development. Structural biologists will find valuable insights into the use of cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, and other biophysical approaches to characterize viral components, while translational researchers and pharmaceutical scientists will benefit from protocols designed to facilitate the development of novel antivirals and vaccine candidates. Clinicians and epidemiologists studying RSV transmission, disease outcomes, and therapeutic interventions will also find this volume highly relevant to their work. As part of the renowned Methods in Molecular Biology series, this book follows a structured format, ensuring accessibility and reproducibility. Each chapter provides a concise introduction to the method's background, relevance, and applications, followed by a detailed, step-by-step protocol accompanied by a comprehensive list of reagents, materials, and specialized equipment. Expert troubleshooting tips and insights are included to help optimize experimental success and avoid common pitfalls.
Bringing together contributions from leading researchers in the field, this volume offers both practical guidance and inspiration for future discoveries. Whether you are an experienced scientist or a newcomer to RSV research, Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus: Methods and Protocols provides the essential tools and knowledge to advance our understanding of RSV biology and accelerate the development of novel therapeutic and preventive strategies.
