Interferon response to RSV by bronchial epithelium from children with asthma is inversely correlated with pulmonary function

RSV-infected bronchial epithelial cells from children with asthma and obstructive physiology demonstrate greater expression of type I and III IFN-associated genes than cells from children without airway obstruction. Furthermore expression of IFN-associated genes inversely correlate with lung function.
