<scp>CD</scp>8⁺T cells with distinct cytokine‐producing features and low cytotoxic activity in eosinophilic and non‐eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

Abstract

CD8(+) T cells have low cytotoxic activity; nevertheless, they are a significant and previously underappreciated source of inflammatory cytokine production in polyps. Different Tc cell subset domination may contribute to distinctly biased granulocyte inflammation in eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic polyps.
