Pharmacology of lung immune responses: which pathways to target!

Symposium
Chairs: A. Bossios (Stockholm, Sweden), L. Donnelly (London, United Kingdom)
Aims: To explain the complexity of lung immune responses and its contribution to airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); to describe pharmacological pathways that can modify these responses.

Overview of innate and adaptive immune responses in the airways K. Bracke (Ghent, Belgium)
Targeting traits in asthma and COPD A. Ten Brinke (Leeuwarden, Netherlands)
The yin and yang of immunosuppression with inhaled corticosteroids in asthma and COPD P. Barnes (London, United Kingdom)
Macrolides targeting multiple immune pathways in asthma and COPD L. Uller (Lund, Sweden)
