AB  - Dendritic cells (DCs) are major antigen-presenting cells that constitute a link 
      between innate and adaptive immune responses, and are critical in the processes 
      of control and elimination of viral infections. On the other hand, there is a 
      large body of data strongly implicating respiratory viruses in morbidity during 
      infancy through the induction of lower respiratory tract infections, such as 
      bronchiolitis, and later on in childhood and adult life, mainly due to their 
      association with asthma exacerbations. Little is known, however, about the 
      precise role of DCs in human respiratory tract infections. This review focuses on 
      current data, both from in vivo and in vitro studies, that highlight the 
      interplay between DCs and the viral causes of bronchiolitis.
