Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD is a common respiratory disorder for which new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are required. Hallmarks of COPD are matrix destruction and neutrophilic airway inflammation in the lung. We have previously described two tri-peptides N-a-PGP and PGP which are collagen fragments and neutrophil chemoattractants.
