Immunolocalization of CD34 in Nasal Polyposis
Abstract
Airway inflammation in patients with nasal polyps is characterized by the increased presence of eosinophils, the numbers of which are reduced after treatment with topical corticosteroids. Because eosinophilic responses in the airways are in part due to eosinophil progenitor differentiation, we hypothesized that CD34, a cell surface, sialomucinlike glycoprotein that specifically marks hemopoietic progenitors and endothelium, would be expressed …
