The complete polynucleotide sequence of the human respiratory syncytial
virus subgroup B strain 9320 genome is provided. Proteins encoded by this
polynucleotide sequence are also provided. Isolated or recombinant RSV
(e.g., attenuated recombinant RSV), nucleic acids, and polypeptides,
e.g., comprising mutations in the attachment protein G, are also
provided, as are immunogenic compositions comprising such isolated or
recombinant RSV, nucleic acids, and polypeptides. Related methods are
also described.
