Eosinophil granulocytes in the nasal mucosa. (A) Immunohistochemical staining of nasal biopsy specimens for ECP in (A) a healthy control and (B, C) a patient with perennial allergic rhinitis. In healthy controls (A), a few cells are staining weakly for ECP in the submucosa and epithelium. In patients with perennial allergic rhinitis cells staining intensely for ECP are present in the submucosa and epithelium. (original magnification, ×420). (C) Higher magnification highlighting eosinophil granules in the epithelium residing cells (original magnification ×1050); Mayer's hematoxylin.
