BACKGROUND The role of inflammatory cells at the local site of allergic inflammation in the nose is unclear. METHODS Nasal biopsy specimens were obtained from 10 patients with symptomatic seasonal allergic rhinitis and 10 normal subjects. Freeze-dried paraffin-embedded sections were stained for mononuclear cells and eosinophils. Tissues in Carnoy's fixative were stained for mast cells. RESULTS T cells were much more plentiful than B cells or macrophages, and no significant differences were found between the two groups in the number of T cells, T-cell subsets, B cells, and macrophages. However, the number of CD25+ cells (lymphocyte activation markers) and the number of eosinophils were significantly higher in the allergic group than in the control group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the total mast cell number. However, mucosal type mast cells were slightly increased, and a higher ratio of mast cells were costained for IgE in the allergic group. IgE+ cells mostly constained for mast cell tryptase and did not costain for J chain. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that unlike granulocytes, in some mononuclear cells qualitative, not quantitative, changes may be important in allergic rhinitis and that IgE may not be locally produced in the nasal mucosa.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D008297 Male Males
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils
