Expression data from non-infected macrophages treated with conditioned medium from macrophages persistently infected with RSV virus

Persistent Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in humans, animal models and cell lines have proven persistence of viral genomic RNA and mRNA for long periods of time. Cell lines are well-established models that can be used to study alterations in the expression profile of the host genome. We postulate that RSV persistence might also indirectly induce changes in the homeostasis of non-infected cells through soluble factors. Thus, we evaluated the effect of conditioned medium (CM) from MP cultures on the transcriptional profile of non-infected macrophages through gene expression microarrays
