Nirsevimab is a recombinant neutralising human IgG1ĸ long-acting monoclonal antibody to the prefusion conformation of the RSV F protein which has been modified with a triple amino acid substitution (YTE) in the Fc region to extend serum half-life. Nirsevimab inhibits the essential membrane fusion step in the viral entry process, neutralising the virus and blocking cell-to-cell fusion. |
