Considering this background, the aims of this study were: a) to investigate whether the nasal administration of Lr05 or Lr06 are able to improve respiratory antiviral defenses and beneficially modulate the immune response triggered by TLR3/RIG-I activation; b) to evaluate whether viability of Lr05 or Lr05 is indispensable to modulate respiratory immunity considering that it was reported that heat-killed lactobacilli strains are able to improve lung defenses [11, 15, 16] and; c) to conclusively demonstrate the protective effect of Lr05 and Lr06 by evaluating their capacity to improve the resistance of infant mice against RSV challenge. ./cache/cord-348993-8r4fhzlm.txt ./txt/cord-348993-8r4fhzlm.txt
