Interleukin-5 and eosinophil cationic protein in nasal lavages of rhinitis patients.
The production of interleukin-5 and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in the nasal cavity was examined in 24 patients with rhinitis who were allergic to the house dust mite. During a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over study, fluticasone propionate aqueous nasal spray (200 micrograms) was administered twice daily for 2 weeks. After four basal nasal lavages provocation with house dust mit...
متن کاملMeasuring eosinophiluria, urinary eosinophil cationic protein and urinary interleukin-5 in patients with Lupus Nephritis
BACKGROUND Urine is increasingly becoming an attractive biological fluid in clinical practice due to being an easily obtained, non-invasive sampling method, containing proteins and peptides. The aim of this study was to investigate eosinophiluria, urinary eosinophil cationic protein (uECP) and urinary IL-5 (uIL-5) in patients with Lupus Nephritis. METHODS Seventy-four patients with SLE-20 wit...
متن کاملMajor basic protein, eosinophil cationic protein, and arylsulfatase in nasal secretions of patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis.
In 15 patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis and 10 healthy control subjects, levels of major basic protein (MBP), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), and arylsulfatase B (As) in the nasal secretions were examined before and after challenge with Japanese cedar pollen extract. The MBP and ECP levels in the patients were significantly higher 30 min after challenge than those before challenge (P <...
متن کاملAlpha2-macroglobulin and eosinophil cationic protein in the allergic airway mucosa in seasonal allergic rhinitis.
As previously demonstrated in seasonal allergic rhinitis, increased microvascular permeability and eosinophil activation are key features of allergic airway inflammation. In the present study, the hypothesis that exudation of alpha2-macroglobulin may cause the appearance of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in the airway lumen was explored. Nasal lavages were carried out using the nasal pool de...
متن کاملEosinophil cationic protein concentration in saliva does not correlate with eosinophil cationic protein concentration in sputum.
compared to L-IS (n 18, p 0.02) but no difference in total cell count; all other cell types, including epithelial and squamous cells, were not significantly different between the two collections. E-IS and BAL eosinophils were significantly correlated (n 20, 0.72, p 0.0004) in all groups and in asthma alone (n 10, 0.82, p 0.004); L-IS showed weaker correlations for percentage of eosinophils with...
