Funded Activity Summary

Why do some patients clinically deteriorate at a greater rate than others during acute respiratory viral infections despite similar or identical clinical management? One explanation is the reactivation immunity towards ubiquitous viruses that then go on to cross-react against the new respiratory pathogen leading to an overly aggressive and destructive response in the lung. We will examine this potential of existing anti-viral immune responses to exacerbate disease in lung transplantation, as suc
