Rhinovirus C-15 infection in human airway ciliated cells.

Rhinovirus C is a significant cause of respiratory illness world-wide, yet little remains known about the life cycle of this pathogen in human airway epithelial cells. Immunofluorescence detection of double-stranded RNA (magenta) in a well-differentiated model of human airway epithelium following rhinovirus-C15 infection reveals ongoing viral replication in Forkhead Box J1 (FoxJ1; gray) – positive ciliated cells. Motile cilia are visualized by acetylated α-tubulin staining (green).
