Adverse immunological imprinting by cytomegalovirus sensitizing for allergic airway disease 2019-05-10 .txt text/plain 1894 99 42 Specifically, in a murine model, CMV airway infection and inhaled environmental antigen of poor intrinsic allergenic potential were found to sensitize for allergic airway disease (AAD) only when combined. Upon airway re-exposure to the inhaled antigen, Th-2 cells secrete interleukins (IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-25) known to induce goblet cell metaplasia, the lead histopathological manifestation of AAD that is characterized by thickening of airway epithelia and increased numbers of mucus-producing goblet cells, resulting in enhanced mucus secretion and airflow obstruction. As airway exposure to environmental antigens at the time of primary airway infection after hCMV transmission is a realistic scenario of medical interest, recent work modeled this scenario in the mouse with the aim to investigate a possible virus-allergen interplay [17] . Upon co-exposure of airway mucosa to inhaled antigen/low potency allergen, represented by OVA in the specific case, and mCMV, the virus activates MHC-II + CD11c + dendritic cells (DC) that localize to the mucosa, specifically DC of the CD11b + subset of conventional B220 low Ly6c low DC, briefly CD11b + cDC. ./cache/cord-304066-rirbdhz3.txt ./txt/cord-304066-rirbdhz3.txt
