Samenvatting
The aim of this thesis was to investigate both the early and late effects of cigarette smoke and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposure and the potential dampening effects of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in animal models for COPD. Additionally, we investigated the role of the specific immune response in the inflammatory response in COPD, i.e. the involvement of B cells and regulatory T cells.
