Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7 and 3 are particularly relevant for initiating responses to common respiratory viruses, as they recognise single-stranded viral RNA and double-stranded viral RNA, respectively.
