.... The purpose of this study was to compare the inflammatory responses in the airways of acute exacerbations of asthma induced by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza A virus. Methods: Sputum induction was performed in asthmatic patients with acute exacerbations induced by RSV (n = 6), influenza A (n...

... stimulated with poly IC or respiratory syncytial virus. The expression of B7-H1 was assessed by flow cytometry. Results: Poly IC upregulated the expression of B7-H1, which was suppressed by high-concentration corticosteroids but not by LABAs. The upregulation was suppressed by very low-concentration...

... potential in modulating this response. We also studied the effect of LTC 4 in the context of response to an airway virus (respiratory syncytial virus, RSV). Methods: Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) exposed to LTC 4 , MK, or both, were cocultured with autologous T cells, with or without RSV...
