Figure 3 The expression of CD40-CD40L and ICOS-ICOSL in different histological patterns of CRS patients
The percentage of six different histological patterns (A) and three patterns (B) (edematous: edematous, edematous + fibrotic, edematous + hyperplasia; fibrotic: fibrotic and edematous + fibrotic; hyperplasia: hyperplasia and edematous + hyperplasia) in ECRS and Non-eCRS. (C-F). Expression levels of ICOSL, ICOS, CD40 and CD40L in nasal tissues of edematous and non-edematous CRS patients.
Figure 4 The correlation among the levels of CD40, CD40L, ICOS and ICOSL nasal polyp of edematous CRS patients
Figure 5 Association between levels of CD40-CD40L, ICOS-ICOSL and eosinophil in nasal tissues of CRS
The correlation analysis between the number of CD40+, CD40L+, ICOS+,
ICOSL+ cells and tissue eosinophils levels in CRS. (B-C) The co-location of eosinophils (PRG2, Green) and CD40 (Red) as well as ICOSL (Red) assessed by immunofluorescence in patients with ECRS. Original magnification x400.
