Airway allergy delays RSV clearance in the nasal mucosa and olfactory bulb.
Allergy free- (RSV) and allergic- (CRA+RSV) mice were infected with RSV on day 0 and the RSV proteins in the nasal mucosa (A) and olfactory bulbs (B) were quantified by RT-PCR with gene specific primers for RSV-G and RSV-F on the days indicated. Data represent means ± SEM (n = 3–4), and are representative of two independent experiments. *, p < 0.05; **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001 (by one-way ANOVA).
