Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract illness in young children. 1, 2, 3, 4 So effectively does RSV spread that essentially all persons have …

Mar 1, 2002 · The cytopathic effects of the virus explain many of the pathological findings in RSV disease. However, there is compelling evidence to suggest that the host cell immune response …

Nov 28, 2022 · The formation of multinucleated giant cells called syncytia hallmarks a characteristic cytopathic effect of RSV; hence, viral RNA can spread without forming complete …

Jan 27, 2011 · To address this hypothesis, we isolated three RSV strains from infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis and compared them with the prototypic RSV A2 in terms of cytopathology, …

Mar 1, 2013 · This article reviews aspects of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in airway epithelial cells (AECs), including cytopathogenesis, entry, replication and the induction of …

Mar 14, 2022 · Our data indicated that HEp-2 and A549 cells differed systematically in their response to RSV infection with the latter cell line supporting less viral replication by mounting …

RSV has a direct cytopathic effect on cells in the lung epithelium, leading to loss of specialized functions such as cillial motility and sometimes to epithelial destruction (4). In addition, a …

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), is a member of the genus Pneumovirus within the family Paramyxoviridae. RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Most people recover in a …

Respiratory syncytial virus–treated cells released significant RANTES as early as 4 hours after RSV infection of cultured human bronchial cells (P=.01). At 24 hours, the mean release of …

RSV grows to moderate titers in HAE, though they are significantly lower than those in a continuous epithelial cell line, HEp-2. In HAE, RSV spreads over time to form focal collections …
