Abstract

This article reviews current knowledge about respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) binding and entry into cells. The recent discovery of Nucleolin as a fusion receptor for RSV opens new avenues for developing interventions, while raising questions concerning RSV pathobiology and tropism. We also discuss characteristics of a good RSV drug target.
