Abstract

Background: Neutrophilic airway inflammation is one of the key features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The chemokine receptors 1 (CXCR1) and 2 (CXCR2) are expressed in the bronchial mucosa during chronic inflammation and might be of importance for transepithelial migration of neutrophils. Objectives: This study addressed the role of bronchoepithelial CXCR1 and CXCR2 expression ...
