repeatedly freeze/thaw.
Functional Aspects:
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most significant
respiratory pathogen of early development and causes
about half of all cases of bronchiolitis and a quarter of
all cases of pneumonia during the first few months of life.
There are multiple types and subtypes of RSV. VP-R151
is a mixture of four antibodies to optimize sensitivity and
detection of the various RSV forms. It does not cross-
react with tissue culture isolates of influenza virus types
A and B, parainfluenza virus types 1, 2, 3 and 4b, adeno-
virus, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster
virus, cytomegalovirus, mumps virus, measles virus,
ECHOvirus 19, coxsackie B4 virus, poliovirus types 1, 2
and 3 or negative tissue culture cells used in routine
virus isolation.
