Rationale: Interactions of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) with macrophages are implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the immunologic mechanisms that mediate NTHI-macrophage inflammation are poorly understood. Outer membrane protein (OMP) P6 and lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of NTHI are potent immunomodulators. We theorized that alveolar macrophages in COPD possess fundamental immune defects that permit NTHI to evade host responses.Objective: To test this hypothesis, we obtained human alveolar and blood macrophages from exsmokers with COPD, exsmokers without COPD, and nonsmokers.Methods: Alveolar and blood macrophages from each donor were incubated with purified LOS and OMP P6 and with OMP P2 and the total outer membrane preparation (0.1-1 mu g/ml).Measurements: Supernatants (24 h) were assayed for IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-12, and IL-8 by multianalyte multiplexed flow cytometry.Results: Comparative induction of COPD and non-COPD alveolar macrophages by LOS and OMP P6 revealed diminished IL-8, TNF-alpha, and IL-1 beta responses of COPD alveolar macrophages (p
