Cytokine Patterns and Endotypes in Acute and Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

abstract：:The role of distinct CD4(+) T-cell populations in regulating the nature and strength of immune responses is well documented and in the past has principally focused on the cross-regulation of T-helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 cells, which secrete interferon-gamma and interleukin-4, respectively. However, the identification...
