Given that Ccrl2 is expressed by cells essential to the development of O3‐induced lung pathology and that chemerin, a Ccrl2 ligand, is increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) by O3, we hypothesized that Ccrl2 contributes to the development of lung injury, lung inflammation, and airway hyperresponsiveness induced by O3. Here, CCRL2 is linked to airway hyperresponsiveness.
