Transforming growth factor-beta promotes rhinovirus replication in bronchial epithelial cells by suppressing the innate immune response
Rhinovirus (RV) infection is a major cause of asthma exacerbations which may be due to a deficient innate immune response in the bronchial epithelium. We hypothesized that the pleiotropic cytokine, TGF-?, influences interferon (IFN) production by primary bronchial epithelial cells (PBECs) following...
