TL;DR: The H5n1/97 and H5N1/04 subtype influenza A viruses are more potent inducers of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in primary human respiratory epithelial cells than subtype H1N1 virus, and it is suggested that this hyper-induction of cytokines may be relevant to the pathogenesis of human H4N1 disease.
