Dynamics of IFN-ss 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.
