Ageing and long-term smoking affects KL-6 levels in the lung, induced sputum and plasma
BACKGROUND: KL-6 is a high-molecular-weight glycoprotein classified as a human MUC1 mucin. It was hypothesized that KL-6 could be detectable in the circulating blood and especially in airway secretions in lung diseases associated with mucus production such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (C...
