All paramyxoviruses contain the surface F (fusion) protein, which causes respiratory epithelial cells to fuse and form multinucleated cells. Palivizumab, a monoclonal antibody against the F protein, can prevent RSV-induced pneumonia in premature infants.
副黏液病毒科病毒均含有表面F（融合）蛋白，該蛋白可使呼吸道上皮細胞融合形成多核細胞。帕利珠單抗（一種針對F蛋白的單株抗體）可用於預防早產兒因RSV感染引起的肺炎。
