EOSINOPHILIC CATIONIC PROTEIN AS A MARKER OF ALLERGIC INFLAMMATION OF NASAL MUCOSA

Abstract. Eosinophils are regarded as major cell population directly involved into late phase of allergic inflammation of nasal mucosa. We performed a comparative study, measuring the amounts of eosinophils and eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) in nasal secretions and serum samples of thirty-three...

The technique of ECP determination in nasal secretions was the most sensitive approach, whereas counting of eosinophils proved to be the most specific method.
