Rapamycin adjuvant and exacerbation of severe influenza in an experimental mouse model

Abstract Influenza virus infection often causes severe disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is a common belief that overwhelming immune response contributes to the severe illness. Physicians and researchers have put forth immune modulation as salvage therapy for better recovery. Howev...
