Abstract excerpt
Clinical and epidemiological studies have shown the contribution of viral infection to the development of allergic asthma. Many RNA viruses, pathogenic for the respiratory tract, generate double-stranded (ds)RNA during their replication. Typical innate immune responses triggered by dsRNA involve the endosomal and cytoplasmic pathways. The former is mediated by Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adaptor inducing IFN-β...
