pollen exposure musts innate defense against respiratory viruses.
results: pollen significantly diminished interferon-λ and pro-inflammatory chemokine responses of airway epithelia to rhinovirus and viral mimics and decreased nuclear translocation of interferon regulatory factors.", "in mice infected with rsv, co- exposure to pollen weakened expression of antiviral genes and increased pulmonary viral titers.", "conclusion: the ability of pollen to suppress innate antiviral immunity, independent of allergy, suggests that high-risk population groups should avoid extensive outdoor activities when pollen and respiratory virus seasons coincide."
