Abstract:Inhalation of viable airborne pathogens often leads to
respiratory
infections. Among the different factors that affect the survival of
airborne pathogens, specific aerosol composition, such as secondary
organic aerosol (SOA), may impact the severity of respiratory infection
by stimulating host cell apoptotic responses. Here, we studied the in vitro effects of SOA (biogenic and anthropogenic) on
respiratory infection of the human influenza A virus (H1N1). Viral
gene copies in the human bronchial epithelial cel… Show more
