Prostaglandin I 2 (PGI 2 ) protects against RSVinduced illness in mice. A variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism has been detected in the promoter region of the PGI 2 synthase (PGIS) gene. We sought to determine if PGI 2 concentrations or polymorphisms of the PGIS gene correlate with seve
