Autophagy promotes non-lytic release of progeny rhinovirus in microvesicles from mucociliary differentiated airway epithelial cells
Airway epithelial cell cultures from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) show higher viral loads following rhinovirus (RV) infection in both extracellular and intracellular compartments, despite expressing antiviral interferon responses. Because autophagy is implicated in viral replication...
