Susceptibility of bone marrow-derived macrophages to influenza virus infection is dependent on macrophage phenotype.

The role of the macrophage in influenza virus infection is complex. Macrophages are critical for resolution of influenza virus infections but implicated in morbidity and mortality in severe infections. They can be infected with influenza virus and consequently macrophage infection is likely to have an impact on the host immune response.
