Eosinophilic nasal polyps are a rich source of eotaxin, eotaxin-2 and eotaxin-3.

Abstract

Our findings suggest, that all members of the eotaxin family are involved in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis. The results are more likely indicative of a complex cooperation between all members of the eotaxin family than of a specific role in the development of eosinophilia and nasal polyposis.
