This item specifically recognises an epitope within the fusion protein of parainfluenza virus 1 (HPIV-1), an enveloped single-stranded RNA virus of the Paramyxoviridae family. <br> <br>Parainfluenza viruses are genetically and antigenically divided into the four types HPIV1-4, with HPIV-1, -2 and -3 being major causative agents of lower respiratory infections in the young and immunologically vulnerable. The fusion protein of all HPIV, is a 60-66kDa surface glycoprotein, integral in the fusion of virus host-cell membranes, and the subsequent infection of a host cell by the viral nucleocapsid.
