Abstract Human respiratory syncytial virus HRSV is an important respiratory pathogen primarily affecting infants young children transplant recipients and the elderly. The F protein is the only virion envelope protein necessary and sufficient for virus replication and fusion of the viral envelope membrane with the target host cell. During natural infection HRSV replication is limited to respiratory epithelial cells with disseminated infection rarely if ever occurring even in immunocompromised patients. However in vitro infection of multiple human and non-human cell types other than those of pulmonary tract origin has been reported. To better define host cell surface molecules that mediate viral entry and dissect the factors controlling permissivity for HRSV we explored the host range of HRSV F protein mediated fusion. Using a novel .
