Journal Article
Daffa, N., Tighe, P. J., Corne, J., Fairclough, L. C., & Todd, I. (2014). Natural and disease-specific autoantibodies in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 180(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/cei.12565

Autoimmunity may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Studies have identified disease-specific autoantibodies (DSAAbs) in COPD patients, but natural autoantibodies (NAAbs) may also play a role. Previous stud...

Background:CD8+ T-lymphocytes, natural killer T-like cells (NKT-like cells, CD56+CD3+) and natural killer cells (NK cells, CD56+CD3?) are the three main classes of human killer cells and they are implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive...
