Abstract
Rhinovirus (RV) infection is linked to early life wheezing and exacerbation of adult asthma. RV infection can be modeled in adult and neonatal mice. This chapter outlines methods for the production of standardized human rhinovirus A1B and mouse infection. The chapter also describes methods to couple infections with allergen (ovalbumin and house dust mite) administrations. The production of the virus involves its amplification, purification, and concentration. In order to standardize the concentrated RV stock, a plaque assay on HeLa cells is outlined as a method of calibrating infectivity. Once the number of plaque-forming units is determined, the standardized virus is used for mouse infection.
