[The expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and interleukin-6 in nasal and bronchial mocosa in allergic rhinitis].

Objective: To investigate the expression and its significances of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in nasal and bronchial mocosa in allergic rhinitis.

Method: Samples of nasal and bronchial mucosa were from 28 patients with allergic rhinitis and 12 controls and their paraffin sections were studied with immuno histochemical technique staining with ICAM-1 monoclonal antibodies and IL-6 polyclonal antibodies.

Result: The positive expression percentage of ICAM-1 in mucosa of nasal and bronchial in patients with allergic rhinitis were 100% and 92.
