The role of IL-17 producing NK cells and other innate immune cells in poly(I:C) triggered exacerbation of experimental asthma

Published: Sep 1, 2016
Abstract
Background: Viral infection of the respiratory tract represents the major cause of acute asthma exacerbations. Viral dsRNA triggers immune responses via Toll-like receptor 3. Poly(I:C) alone is sufficient to trigger an exacerbation of experimental asthma in mice. Objective: This study aimed at investigating the underlying mechanisms of experimental asthma exacerbation and identifying the involved immune cells. Methods:...
