Asthma is associated with multiple alterations in anti-viral innate signalling pathways.

<h4>Background</h4>Human rhinovirus (HRV) infection is a major trigger for asthma exacerbations. Anti-viral immunity appears to be abnormal in asthma, with immune dysfunction reported in both airway structural cells and migratory, bone marrow derived cells. Though decreased capacity to p...
