Abstract

In the upper respiratory tract, different cell types respond in different ways early after viral infection. Dumm et al. show that influenza B virus targets olfactory sensory neurons, but these neurons induce interferon-stimulated genes to rapidly clear the virus non-lytically and protect the CNS from disseminated infection.
