Replication of antigenomic RNA (+ssRNA) of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) A, just like replication of genomic RNA, depends on encapsidation by the protein N, which has regions that interact with both protein P and protein L. Encapsidation protects genomic and antigenomic RNA from degradation as these RNAs do not possess the 5' cap and the poly(A) tail. At least 10-times more progeny genome is produced than antigenome, due to a stronger antigenome promoter and due to the genome being used as a template for both transcription and antigenome synthesis (Fearns et al. 2000; Hanley et al. 2010).
