Abstract

Aleolar macrophage is one of the major inflammatory cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it extensively located in respiratory tract and lung. Aleolar macrophage takes part in abnormal inflammation of COPD. Therefore, the article will review the progress of phagocytosis of alveolar macrophage in COPD.
