BACKGROUND: Respiratory RNA viruses are associated with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in lung transplant recipients (LTRS); however, the immune mechanisms that regulate airway obliteration remain incompletely understood. METHODS: Using the mouse heterotopic tracheal transplant model of obliterative airway disease (OAD), we studied the role of double-stranded (ds)RNA using polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid...
