The Role of p38 MAPK in Rhinovirus-Induced Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Production by Monocytic-Lineage Cells
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Viral respiratory infections are a major cause of asthma exacerbations and can contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma. Major group human rhinovirus enters cells by binding to the cell surface molecule ICAM-1 that is present on epithelial and monocytic lineage cells. The focus of the resulting viral infection is in bronchial epithelia. However, previous studies of the cytokine dysregulation that follows...
