The patients and healthy controls reported no history of infections in the airways or in the rest of the body three weeks prior to participating.
The study was approved by the local ethical committee in Stockholm, Karolinska Institutet, and all patients and healthy controls gave their written informed consent. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
Nasal biopsies were taken from inferior turbinates of healthy non-smoking controls under local anaesthesia as previously described Peripheral blood was collected in heparin tubes, lysed with formic acid and ion solution, and finally stained with different antibodies for flow cytometry see Antibodies and flow cytometry section for details. Nasal lavage fluid was collected as previously described For all in vitro experiments, healthy controls with no known allergies were recruited.
All participants were non-smokers and all patients were healthy with the exception of their allergy. Blood was collected in heparin tubes. T cells and neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood using ficoll-paque Sigma-Aldrich, St. The erythrocytes in the granulocyte rich pellet were lysed 0. The lymphocyte interface from the ficoll-paque isolation step was collected and washed with PBS. Thereafter, CD3 0. The cell suspension was then collected and analysed with flow cytometry.
For blocking cell-cell contact, transwell plates 0. In these experiments, CD3 was added to the lymphocyte part of the transwell plates. Remaining erythrocytes were lysed. Migration set up was conducted with transwell plates 3. All antibodies were titrated for optimum concentration before use, with dilutions ranging from to Cells were identified based on forward and side scatter properties.
Statistical differences between patients with allergy and healthy controls were performed using unpaired t-tests Mann-Whitney. A p-value of 0. Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism software version 6.
For human data, n equals the number of patients. How to cite this article : Arebro, J. A possible role for neutrophils in allergic rhinitis revealed after cellular subclassification.

Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Neutrophil levels. Different subsets increase in different compartments In order to further explore the increase in neutrophils in AR patients, the cells were categorised by their expression of CD16 and CD62L Fig. Figure 2. Fraction of different neutrophil subset in different compartments and crucial gating procedures.
Activated neutrophils can help activate T cells Functional in vitro experiments were performed to evaluate the immunological importance of the activated neutrophil subsets. Figure 3. Neutrophils before and after activation. Figure 4. Co-cultures with activated neutrophils and T cells. Activated neutrophils mediate eosinophil migration To further analyse the importance of neutrophils in allergic inflammation, experiments were set up to study the impact of activated neutrophils on eosinophils.
Figure 5. In vitro transwell systems with activated neutrophils and eosinophils. Discussion Patients with AR exhibited increased numbers of neutrophils in peripheral blood, nasal biopsies and NAL during the pollen season.
Human nasal biopsies Nasal biopsies were taken from inferior turbinates of healthy non-smoking controls under local anaesthesia as previously described Human peripheral blood Peripheral blood was collected in heparin tubes, lysed with formic acid and ion solution, and finally stained with different antibodies for flow cytometry see Antibodies and flow cytometry section for details.
Recovery of nasal lavage fluid Nasal lavage fluid was collected as previously described Read more: WBC white blood cell count ». Your doctor may request a WBC count and differential if they suspect you have one of several conditions, including:. Both tests can help your doctor determine if your symptoms are due to high or low WBC levels, which will help them understand what condition you may have.
WBC counts can also be used to monitor certain disease processes and illnesses. No special preparation is necessary for a WBC count or differential. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medications, including over-the-counter supplements or vitamins, for several days before the sample collection occurs. Medicines, both prescription and over-the-counter, can affect white blood cell counts.
To conduct a WBC count and differential, your doctor will need to collect a blood sample from you. Blood is typically drawn from a vein in either the bend of your arm or in your hand. WBC count and differential tests have very few risks.
Some people may feel moderate pain and a stinging sensation during the blood draw, and some people may feel sick or lightheaded during or after the blood draw. If you do, let your doctor or nurse know and remain seated until the feeling has passed. Basophils : The list for basophil-related diseases is somewhat shorter.
Basophils have been associated with fatal asthma, acute and chronic allergy, and have been shown to play an exacerbating role in lupus nephritis. It is unclear whether they play any role in IgG-dependent anaphylaxis in humans. However, their role in amplifying existing allergic responses is relatively well established, due to their abundant secretion of the type-2 cytokines IL-4 and IL after activation.
Our understanding of basophils and their roles has been increasing steadily over the past few years, due to the introduction of murine basophil knockout models. However some questions still remain regarding the relevance of these models to human basophil immunobiology. While it may be tempting for clinicians involved with the treatment of allergic individuals to only consider the negative roles of these three cell types, it is important to consider that causing allergic diseases is not their physiological function, and that they play important protective roles.
These protective aspects of these cell types have been demonstrated in innate immunity against microbial pathogens, viruses, and helminthic parasites; and in protection against some snake, scorpion, gila, and honeybee venoms.
