title: Purification and characterization of GP90, one of the envelope glycoproteins of respiratory syncytial virus.
abstract: The large glycoprotein, GP90, of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was purified by affinity chromatography using a monoclonal antibody. Hyperimmune rabbit antiserum directed specifically to the purified GP90 neutralized RSV to high titre but did not inhibit fusion of previously infected cells. 125I-labelled GP90 bound rapidly to HEp-2 cells in an unsaturable manner; binding was inhibited by the hyperimmune rabbit antiserum.
