First reported in children from the Netherlands in 2001. Retrospective studies have shown the presence of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in the human population from as early as the 1950s.

They can lead to lesser known symptoms of hMPV: It may lead to conjunctivitis, which is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, a thin membrane that protects the eye. It can lead to red, itchy ...

It consists of two distinct mRNA sequences encoding the membrane fusion (F) proteins of hMPV and PIV3 formulated in Moderna’s proprietary lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology. mRNA-1653 is wholly ...

Subscribe for FREE Scientists have long attempted to create vaccines that coax the immune system into recognizing the fusion (F) proteins present on the surfaces of RSV, hMPV and related viruses.

We analyzed 64 human metapneumovirus strains from eight countries. Phylogenetic analysis identified two groups (A and B, amino acid identity 93% 96%) and four subgroups. Although group A strains ...

Additional posters characterize a 3D culture model for studying RSV, as well as outline methods for improved in vitro characterization of hMPV ... a non-fusion RSV replication inhibitor, were ...

Hologic, Inc.HOLX announced the receipt of 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Panther Fusion AdV/hMPV/RV assay. This is a multiplex assay that runs on the new Panther Fusion system and detects ...

before hMPV has fused with cells and caused infection. Last spring, McLellan's team described having developed a way to lock this fusion protein into its prefusion conformation, which is useful for a ...
