Growth of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Primary Epithelial Cells from the Human Respiratory Tract
15 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants and children. To study RSV replication, we have developed an in vitro model of human nasopharyngeal mucosa, human airway epithelium (HAE). RSV grows to moderate titers in HAE, though they are significantly lower than those in a continuous epithelial cell line, HEp-2. In HAE, RSV spreads over time to form...
