Current understanding of adaptive immune, particularly T cell, responses to human rhinoviruses (RV) is limited. Memory T cells are thought to be of a primarily T helper 1 type, but both T helper 1 and T helper 2 memory cells have been described, and heightened T helper 2/ lessened T helper 1 responses have been associated with increased RV-induced asthma exacerbation severity. We examined the c...

In the preceding paper (1) some chemical, antigenic, and biological propert ies of a series of ace toace ty la ted derivat ives of Salmonella adelaide flagellin were described. Several chemical and antigenic tests revealed tha t as flagellin was ace toace ty la ted to increasing extents there was a s teady decline in the affinity of the molecule for anti-flagellin antibodies. This loss in antig...
