Rhinoviruses A and C elicit long-lasting antibody responses with limited cross-neutralization

Rhinoviruses (RVs) can cause severe wheezing illnesses in young children and patients with asthma. Vaccine development has been hampered by the multitude of RV types with little information about cross-neutralization. We previously showed that neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses to RV-C are detected twofold to threefold more often than those to RV-A throughout childhood. Based on those findings, we hypothesized that RV-C infections are more likely to induce either cross-neutralizing or longer-lasting antibody responses compared with RV-A infections.

Upper Airway Cell Transcriptomics Identify a Major New Immunological Phenotype with Strong Clinical Correlates in Young Children with Acute Wheezing

Asthma exacerbations in children can be divided into IRF7hi versus IRF7lo phenotypes with associated differences in clinical phenotypes

Prophylactic use of sublingual allergen immunotherapy in high-risk children: A pilot study

These findings suggest that this modified version of SLIT should be considered for retesting of mucosal-based immunotherapy for atopic asthma prevention.

Community Involvement Opportunity - Research Buddies

Our Children’s Respiratory Science team is currently seeking research buddies to provide a community perspective on research into childhood asthma attacks.

Defective cell migration as a mechanism of dysregulated asthmatic airway repair

The findings from this study show that in children with asthma this protective barrier is different from children without asthma.
