Abstract

A common cold virus (rhinovirus) infection in young children with CF can cause more severe impacts, such as hospitalisation, decline in lung function and excessive mucus production. Using samples from children with and without CF, this thesis found a more complex global gene signature in children with CF in response to RV infection, including inflammation and mucin production. This was validated using a 3D model of the airway which also found that the mucus produced by CF lung cells was chemically different from those produced by non-CF lung cells. Future work aims to develop therapeutic interventions targeting the identified pathways.
