ABSTRACT
Protecting the upper airways and brain from viral invasion through the olfactory mucosa is critical. Wellford et al. describe a barrier that restricts the passage of circulating antibodies and prevents them from reaching the olfactory mucosa. Instead, plasma cells are recruited into this site and prevent viral infection of the airways and the brain through local antibody production.
