1 Increased CD8 T-cell granzyme B in COPD is suppressed by treatment with low-dose azithromycin. Azithromycin granzyme B Homo sapiens
2 We previously showed that low-dose azithromycin reduced airways inflammation in COPD subjects and we hypothesized that it would also reduce granzyme B production by CD8 T cells. Azithromycin granzyme B Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: T-cell granzyme B production in both airway and intra-epithelial compartments was reduced in COPD patients following 12 weeks of azithromycin treatment, with no significant effect in blood. Azithromycin granzyme B Homo sapiens
4 Both azithromycin and n-acetyl cysteine suppressed CD4 T-cell granzyme B production, but only azithromycin was effective at reducing CD8+ T-cell granzyme B production in vitro. Azithromycin granzyme B Homo sapiens
5 Both azithromycin and n-acetyl cysteine suppressed CD4 T-cell granzyme B production, but only azithromycin was effective at reducing CD8+ T-cell granzyme B production in vitro. Azithromycin granzyme B Homo sapiens
