The proportion and function of peripheral myeloid-derived suppressor cells do not correlate with systemic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) have been implicated in the regulation of chronic inflammation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involves persistent inflammation, but the role of MDSC has not been explored. Here, proportions of MDSC (CD14-HLA-DR-CD33+CD11b+ cells) were quantified...
