Human Metapneumovirus-Induced Host microRNA Expression Impairs the Interferon Response in Macrophages and Epithelial Cells

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a nonsegmented, single-stranded negative RNA virus and a member of the <i>Pneumoviridae</i> family. During HMPV infection, macrophages play a critical role in defending the respiratory epithelium by secreting large amounts of type I interferon (IFN). Micro...
