Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is ranked the third leading cause of death worldwide and hence constitutes a significant burden, both medically and financially. To date, the cellular mechanism underlying COPD is poorly understood and thus no effective therapy is currently available. To broaden the current knowledge of the immune landscape in the alveolar space, we performed scRNA-Seq of CD45-enriched bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells and isolated blood leukocytes obtained from COPD patients and healthy controls using both the Seq-Well and the Chromium (10x Genomics) technology.
