Figure 3From: Budesonide and formoterol effects on rhinovirus replication and epithelial cell cytokine responsesTreatment effects on expression of interferon mRNA by BE cells from normal and asthmatic subjects. Cells were inoculated with RV-16 after 24 h pre-treatment with budesonide (B), formoterol (F), the combination (B+F) or media alone (none) and then type I (IFNB1) and III (IL28) interferon mRNA levels were measured by qPCR in cell lysates 24 h post inoculation. Data are represented as geometric mean fold change compared to mock-infected cells with 95% confidence intervals.Back to article page
