Popis: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe acute lower respiratory tract infections in infants. Natural killer (NK) cells are important anti-viral effector cells that likely encounter RSV in the presence of virus-specific (maternal) antibodies. Since NK cells potentially contribute to immunopathology, we investigated whether RSV affects their anti-viral effector functions.
