Fig 1. CXCL1 and CXCL8 expression in the mucosa specimens.
(A) Immunohistochemical staining of CXCL1 and CXCL8 distribution in the control and CRSsNP nasal mucosa. The inferior turbinates (control) and CRSsNP nasal mucosa from 5 individual patients (pt) were stained with anti-CXCL1 and CXCL8 Ab. Immunoreactivity for CXCL1 and CXCL8 (deep-red staining) was stronger in the submucosal stroma of CRSsNP specimens than in the nasal septal deviation controls. ep: epithelial cells; v: blood vessels; g: submucosal glands. Scale bar = 100 μm.
