In the 2009 IACC Strategic Plan, the 

IACC listed the ‘‘Spirit of Collaboration’’ 

as one of its core values, stating that, 

‘‘We will treat others with respect, listen 

to diverse views with open minds, 

discuss submitted public comments, 

and foster discussions where 

participants can comfortably offer 

opposing opinions.’’ In keeping with 

this core value, the IACC and the NIMH 

Office of Autism Research Coordination 

(OARC) ask that members of the public 

who provide public comments or 

participate in meetings of the IACC also 

seek to treat others with respect and 

consideration in their communications 

and actions, even when discussing 

issues of genuine concern or 

disagreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Technology description follows. 

Substitutions-Modified Prefusion RSV F 

Proteins and Their Use 

Description of Technology: The 

respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion 

(F) glycoprotein is the primary target of 

neutralizing antibodies. The F 

glycoprotein exists in at least two 

conformations, a meta-stable prefusion 

state, and an extremely stable postfusion 

state. Both states share several epitopes 

targeted by neutralizing antibodies, but 

it has been demonstrated that the 

prefusion conformation of F contains at 

least one epitope not present in the 

postfusion conformation. Natural 

infection results in neutralizing 

antibodies that are primarily directed 

against the prefusion conformation of F, 

not its postfusion conformation. The 

instability of the prefusion form of F has
