| 摘要 |
The present invention provides methods for managing, treating and/or ameliorating a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection (e.g., acute RSV disease, or a RSV upper respiratory tract infection (URI) and/or lower respiratory tract infection (LRI)), and/or a symptom or a long-term respiratory condition relating thereto (e.g., asthma, wheezing, reactive airway disease (RAD), or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)) in a subject, comprising administering to said human an effective amount of one or more antibodies that immunospecifically bind to one or more RSV antigens with a high affinity and/or high avidity and further comprise a modified IgG constant domain, or FcRn-binding fragment thereof, to not only decrease RSV infection, but also decrease the pro-inflammatory epithelial cell immune responses in order to mitigate the later development of asthma and/or wheezing and/or COPD in said patient.
