Abstract
TREM-2 expression is increased in lung macrophages in COPD, particularly in comparison with TREM-1. Therefore, TREM-2 levels and the ratio of TREM-2/TREM-1 signifies M2 activation in COPD lung tissues and may help to guide therapeutics directed against the type 2 immune response in patients with this disease.
