Rhinovirus infection induces expression of antioxidants in asthma bronchial epithelial cells. HBECs from asthma patients were infected with 1MOI RV16 for 48 h. Immunoblots of cell lysates were probed with anti-SOD1 (A), anti-SOD2 (B), anti-catalase (C), and anti-TRX (D) and quantified. Data is presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) fold change of un-stimulated control relative to GAPDH expression. Comparison of different groups was performed by Kruskal-Wallis with Wilcoxon post-testing. *p < 0.05 vs. CTRL. Data was obtained from 7 donors.
