Plain language summary:
Risk for development of childhood asthma is associated with dysregulated immune responses to viruses, and allergies to house dust mites. In this study we will employ systems biology to further our understanding of the factors that control the development of a healthy immune system that is resistant to the development of asthma and allergies.
