IL-17C contributes to NTHi-induced inflammation and lung damage in experimental COPD and is present in sputum during acute exacerbations.

IL-17C contributes to NTHi-induced inflammation and lung damage in experimental COPD and is present in sputum during acute exacerbations.

Neutrophilic inflammation results in loss of lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
