Abstrakt: Influenza A viral infection is concerned with induction of asthma. CD11c+ pulmonary antigen presenting cells (APCs) play a central role in sensitization with inhaled antigens during the acute phase of influenza A viral infection and also reside on bronchial epithelium for the long term after sensitization. To investigate the role of CD11c+ pulmonary APCs in the inhaled antigen sensitization during the acute phase of influenza A viral infection, we analyzed their function.
