Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: MC, BSG and JSM are inventors on patent applications describing the use of prefusion-stabilized RSV F glycoproteins as vaccine antigens. TB is an inventor on an international patent application describing the technology used to isolate AM14. MedImmune Inc owns the rights to antibody AM14. JSM is a consultant for MedImmune Inc. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS policies on sharing data and materials.
