RSV-induced changes in neurotrophins gene expression in (A) nasal epithelial cells; (B) tracheal epithelial cells; and (C) bronchial epithelial cells.

<p>Cells were infected with 1 MOI of rgRSV for 24 h; then, RNA was isolated and cDNA synthesized for real-time PCR analysis. C_t values were normalized to the housekeeping gene HPRT1. Data shown are the average of 4 independent experiments performed in duplicate, and are presented as the mean±SEM (n = 8). ** = <i>p</i><0.01 compared to non-infected controls.
