Histopathologic examination of lungs afflicted by chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) consistently shows both mononuclear cell (MNC) inflammation and mesenchymal cell (MC) fibroproliferation. We hypothesize that interleukin 6 (IL-6) trans-signaling may be a critical mediator of MNC-MC crosstalk and necessary for the pathogenesis of CLAD. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid obtained after the diagnosis of CLAD has approximately twofold higher IL-6 and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) levels compared to matched pre-CLAD samples. Huma
