These findings show that Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection contributes to Th1 polarisation in immune response of respiratory mucosa, an effect that is similar to other environmental factors. Further studies are needed to assess immune response to other infectious causes of acute bronchiolitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
