Abstract：Objective To investigate the distribution and expression of immunoreactive interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the human nasal polyps. Methods Thirty-two specimens of nasal polyp and 12 specimens of normal inferior turbinate were studied with immunohistochemistry SABC method. Results IL-8 antigen staining was observed predominantly in the acidophilic and the epithelium cells in the nasal polyps, and immunoreactive IL-8 was distributed widely in the cell plasm of these cells, and IL-8 antigen staining was barely observed in control. Conclusion IL-8 may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps.
