Toll-like Receptor 3 Stimulation Causes Corticosteroid-Refractory Airway Neutrophilia and Hyperresponsiveness in Mice

Background RNA virus infections, such as rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus, induce exacerbations in patients with COPD and asthma, and the inflammation is corticosteroid refractory. The main aim of this study is to establish a murine model induced by a Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) agonist, a...
