“…Several studies have shown that infection with different strains of HMPV induce a strong immune response characterized by production of interferons in vitro [ 57 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 ] or in vivo [ 57 , 88 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 ] ( Table 1 ). However, this response is contingent on viral replication as IFN induction is abolished in UV-inactivated HMPV infected cells [ 57 , 94 , 95 ] and in vivo [ 90 ].…”
