Organization of secondary lymphoid tissue and local IgE formation to <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> enterotoxins in nasal polyp tissue

Abstract

We demonstrated the organization of secondary lymphoid tissue in polyp tissue and a polyclonal hyper-immunoglobulinemia E associated with the presence of IgE antibodies to SAEs, colonization with S. aureus, and tissue eosinophilia in a relevant subgroup of polyp patients.
