IRR researchers and colleagues discover that the common childhood virus, RSV, leaves lasting ‘immune memory’ in lungs.

Proteins that help fight infection (MHCs) stay elevated, boosting protection for subsequent infections but also increases the risk of allergies.

Epithelial Memory After Respiratory Viral Infection in Mice Results in Prolonged Enhancement of Antigen Presentation RSV infection induces lasting epigenetic and transcriptional changes in LECs, upregulating MHC-I and MHC-II, further amplified by LPS exposure. This is accompanied by increased antigen uptake, proc...

Super proud that my PhD paper is finally out! doi.org/10.1111/all.... RSV leaves long-lasting marks on the lung, potentially boosting future immune responses but also contributing to allergen sensitisation.
