1 Nicotine treatment improves Toll-like receptor 2 and Toll-like receptor 9 responsiveness in active pulmonary sarcoidosis. Nicotine toll like receptor 2 Homo sapiens
2 Nicotine treatment was associated with restoration of TLR2 and TLR9 responsiveness, and expansion of Tregs, including the CD4 1 CD25 2 FoxP3 1 phenotype. Nicotine toll like receptor 2 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: Nicotine treatment in active pulmonary sarcoidosis was well tolerated and restored peripheral immune responsiveness to TLR2 and TLR9 agonists and expansion of FoxP3 1 Tregs, including a specific "preactivated" (CD25 2 ) phenotype. Nicotine toll like receptor 2 Homo sapiens
