    Snippet: One of the hallmarks of the pathology caused by RSV infection is increased mucus production in the lungs of infected individuals. Mucus is a gel-like substance that consists of different mucins (MUC), which are high molecular mass, highly glycosylated glycoproteins [28] . Airway mucus protects the epithelial surface from injury through mucociliary clearance, facilitating the removal of foreign particles and chemicals that enter the lung. Twenty-o.....
    Document: One of the hallmarks of the pathology caused by RSV infection is increased mucus production in the lungs of infected individuals. Mucus is a gel-like substance that consists of different mucins (MUC), which are high molecular mass, highly glycosylated glycoproteins [28] . Airway mucus protects the epithelial surface from injury through mucociliary clearance, facilitating the removal of foreign particles and chemicals that enter the lung. Twenty-one MUC proteins have been described in humans and are divided in two families: secreted mucins and cell-tethered mucins. The major mucins produced in the airways are MUC5AC and MUC5B as secreted mucins and MUC1, MUC4, MUC16 and MUC20 as membrane-bound mucins [29] .
