Variants of the chemokine receptor CCR5 are associated with severe bronchiolitis caused by respiratory syncytial virus.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis is characterized by intense inflammation of the airways, and high levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines can be found in respiratory secretions of affected infants. Important among these chemokines are RANTES (regulated on activation, norma...
