| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Flow cytometry of peripheral blood will be used to determine expression of inhibitory receptors in peripheral blood cells of patients. Neutrophil function regulation by inhibitory receptors in tracheal aspirate cells will be studied. ELISA will be used to determine levels of soluble inhibitory receptors and other serum cytokines. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| RSV staining of epithelial cells and qPCR on cell adhesion and epithelium-mesenchymal transition (EMT) genes will be used to study interaction between epithelium and leukocytes.
