title: Advances in understanding respiratory syncytial virus infection in airway epithelial cells and consequential effects on the immune response.
abstract: This article reviews aspects of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in airway epithelial cells (AECs), including cytopathogenesis, entry, replication and the induction of immune response to the virus, including a new role for thymic stromal lymphopoietin in RSV immunopathology.
