«But what we've now shown is that RSV has an increased ability to cause airway obstruction because,
during an RSV
infection, the virus expresses a specific RSV - encoded non-structural protein, or NS2, in epithelial
cells, causing the
cells to shed from the airway lining and into the airway lumen.
Thwarting this shedding effect wouldn't stop
infection or stifle the typical symptoms of RSV
infection, but it might limit the virus's ability to spread into the tiniest airways, which are the most likely to be obstructed by
cells shed
during infection.
