Pandemic influenza virus, <scp>pH</scp>1N1, induces asthmatic symptoms via activation of innate lymphoid cells

Abstract

This study demonstrates that pH1N1 infection directly induces transient asthmatic symptoms in patients regardless of their medical history. pH1N1 infection was shown to stimulate the rapid development of AHR and Th2-type cytokine secretion in mice via the activation of ILC2; it may be activated independently of adaptive immunity.
