Dynamics of IFN- β Responses During Respiratory Viral Infection: Insights for Therapeutic Strategies.

CONCLUSIONS: In vitro modelling of IFN-β dynamics highlights the potential for intermittent prophylactic doses of exogenous IFN-β to modulate viral infection. This provides important insights to aid the future design of clinical trials of IFN-β in asthma and COPD.
