Variable analysis
- Inflamed mucosa (n = 3 AFRS nasal polyps, n = 1 mucosa adjacent to mycetoma)
- Control mucosa from inferior turbinates (n = 4)
- Not explicitly mentioned
- Tissue was incubated for 5 hours at 37°C in Dulbecco's Modified-Eagle Medium (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) with 5μg/mL Brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO)
- Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) at final concentration 2mM was added to quench the digestion
- Debris was removed using a 40-μm cell strainer
- Red blood cells (RBCs) were removed using an RBC lysis buffer (Miltenyi Biotech, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany)
- Cells were serially washed in 2% BSA in PBS (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for analysis by flow cytometry
- The inflamed mucosa (AFRS nasal polyps and mucosa adjacent to mycetoma) and control mucosa from inferior turbinates were taken from the same patient, providing a within-subject control.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
