The evaluation of metallothionein expression in nasal polyps with respect to immune cell presence and activity
BACKGROUND: The expression of metallothionein (MT) is involved in acquiring resistance to immune-mediated apoptosis; it is also a negative regulator of the immune response. Nasal polyps are typified by a resistance to immune-mediated apoptosis as well as by excessive immune cell infiltration. RCAS1...
