IMMUNOHISTOLOGICALST UDY OF NASAL POLYPS AND NASAL MUCOSA ABOUT γδT-CELLS AND “MEMORY” T-CELLS

Abstract

We studied the distribution of γδT-cells in nasal polyps and inferior turbinates of subjects with nasal allergy, and existence of “memory” T-cells in the inferior turbinates of subjects with nasal allergy by use of an immunohistochemical procedure.
γδT-cells were found in the epithelium and lamina propria of all subjects. In the inferior turbinates of subjects with nasal allergy, CD 4, CD 45 RO double positive cells “memory” T-cells were seen.
