M1-like macrophages are potent producers of anti-viral interferons and M1-associated marker-positive lung macrophages are decreased during rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbations
Background: Macrophages (Mф) can be M1/M2 polarized by Th1/2 signals, respectively. M2-like Mф are thought to be important in asthma pathogenesis, and M1-like in anti-infective immunity, however their roles in virus-induced asthma exacerbations are unknown. Our objectives were (i) to assess polarise...
