From: Early phase resolution of mucosal eosinophilic inflammation in allergic rhinitis
Apoptotic and proliferating cells, and CCL5 and CCL11 staining in whole nasal biopsies at resolution of allergic inflammation. Occurrence of apoptotic cells in the tissue quantified by TUNEL-technique (A) and occurrence of proliferating cells in the epithelium stained using the proliferating marker Ki67 and quantified in the epithelium and expressed as cells/0.1 mm basement membrane length (B) of nasal biopsies. Average integrated Optical Density (IOD) times the calculated stained area (μm2) reflects the occurrence of CCL5 (C) and CCL11 (D) immunostaining in nasal biopsies. Data presented is mean ± SEM.
