Abstract
Methods for reducing the infection by human rhinovirus (HRV) of host cells susceptible to infection by HRV, comprising contacting the virus under conditions favorable for binding with an antiviral agent comprising a fragment of human rhinovirus major receptor protein (HRR) in a form that exhibits the ability to bind to HRV capsids and reduce infectivity of the virus, and an intranasal spray comprising HRR or a fragment thereof suitable for use in said method. Human rhinovirus receptor has subsequently been discovered by Greve et al. to be intercellular adhesion molecule-1.
