The Immune Response to Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection: Friend or Foe?

Welliver, Robert C.·2008·Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology

Abstract

The immune response to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has fascinated and frustrated investigators for decades. After adverse responses to early attempts at vaccination, it became popularly held that disease following infection was related to overly aggressive immune responses. However, recent data illustrate that severe forms of disease are related to inadequate, rather than hyperresponsive, adaptive immune reactions. Thus, recovery from primary (and perhaps later) RSV infection is dependent on the quality of innate immune responses. These findings should have enormous significance to the development of vaccines and antiviral compounds.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • No cellular damage was observed in rhinovirus-infected nasal epithelial cells.

    “no cellular damage was observed in rhinovirus-infected nasal epithelial cells (318).”
  • Respiratory viruses are able to induce ciliary impairment, including disruption of ciliary beating and loss of ciliated cells, leading to mucostasis.

    “Respiratory viruses are also able to induce ciliary impairment, including disruption of ciliary beating and loss of ciliated cells, leading to mucostasis (318, 332).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
