Pathway Description
Palivizumab Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Palivizumab is a monoclonal anti respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein antibody used to prevent serious sequelae caused by RSV infection in pediatric patients. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology, directed to an epitope in the A antigenic site of the F protein of RSV.
Palivizumab binds to the fusion glycoprotein F of RSV which inhibits the binding and uptake of the virus into host cells. This prevents viral propagation and infection.
