Abstract

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a major concern for the population across all age groups and it is the single serotype with two major antigenic subgroups circulating together but one leads [1]. Considering published outcomes related to treatment, as well as the impact of RSV on global healthcare, a promising treatment or vaccine development remains a priority. The potential of liposomes as a carrier of active pharmacological agents was described decades ago [2-4] whilst liposomes have attracted much attention for their ability to carry antigens as well as immunomodulators [5]. Therefore, the work in this paper was aimed to prepare liposomes < 100 nm using thin film hydration followed by sonication, to effectively conjugate the anti-RSV peptide RF-482 and investigate the efficiency the liposomal formulation in presence and absence peptide RF-482 to inhibit RSV spread.
