Significant increase of CD57+ cells in pulmonary lymphoid follicles of COPD patients.
Although the presence of pulmonary lymphoid follicles (LFs) has been associated with the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there is no information regarding the pattern of vascularisation, expression of addressins or inflammatory cell densities within these structures in COPD. Histological and immunohistochemical techniques were used to assess the prevalence, structur...
متن کاملPlasmacytoid dendritic cells in pulmonary lymphoid follicles of patients with COPD.
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells with antiviral and tolerogenic capabilities. Viral infections and autoimmunity are proposed to be important mechanisms in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study aimed to quantify blood dendritic cell antigen 2-positive pDCs in lungs of subjects with or without COPD by immunohistoch...
متن کاملLymphoid follicles in (very) severe COPD: beneficial or harmful?
Inflammation is a main pathogenetic factor in the development and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recently, it has become clear that not only the innate, but also the specific immune response plays a role. A striking finding, in particular in lungs of patients with severe COPD, often with a predominant emphysema phenotype, is the presence of B-cell follicles. As see...
