A comparative study examining the effects of respiratory viruses on CXCL8 production found that although levels of CXCL8 protein in the nasal lavage fluid (NLF) of influenza virusand rhinovirus-infected patients correlated with a higher symptom score, this was not the case for RSV-infected patients. The recruitment of allergen-responsive T cells to the lung and draining lymph nodes has been linked to CCR1 in a murine model of RSV-induced exacerbation of allergic asthma (Schaller and Lukacs, unpublished data). ./cache/cord-265054-52eqdlef.txt ./txt/cord-265054-52eqdlef.txt
