Interferon-α action in cytokine profile in eosinophilic nasal polyp cultures.

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis is currently classified into two types: chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. In the West, approximately 80% of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps cases are characterized by a predominantly eosinophilic cell infiltrate and a Th2 cytokine pattern.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of Interferon-α on cytokine levels of the eosinophilic nasal polyp cell culture supernatant.
