FOR MANY PEOPLE, AN INFECTION WITH respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is little more than a troublesome cold. Before RSV vaccine research could lead anywhere fruitful, researchers needed to know what had gone so wrong in the 1960s trials to cause antibody-enhanced disease. "It became clear that RSV was one of the major childhood pathogens for which we didn't have a vaccine, so working on a vaccine that can help save the lives of babies and young children was very motivating", he says.
