Figure 1From: Budesonide and formoterol effects on rhinovirus replication and epithelial cell cytokine responsesViral replication in BE cells from normal and asthmatic subjects was not affected by budesonide or formoterol. Cells were inoculated with RV-16 after 24 h pre-treatment with budesonide (B), formoterol (F), both drugs (B+F), or media alone (none) and cell-associated viral RNA was measured 24 h post-inoculation. Neither B, F, nor the combination significantly affected RV replication in all samples ( A ), nor in samples grouped according to asthma status ( B ). Data are represented as geometric means with 95% confidence intervals.Back to article page
