ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to methods of treating or preventing RSV infections, and more specifically, to compositions, and the use thereof, comprising one or more RSV G protein immunogen or fragment thereof capable of eliciting protective immunity without eliciting an immunopathological response or eliciting a reduced immunopathological response.
