Background Airway epithelial cells from patients with COPD show suboptimal innate immune responses to nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 ligands despite expressing TLR2 similar to normal airway epithelial cells, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood...
