Nasal epithelial barrier dysfunction increases sensitization and mast cell degranulation in the absence of allergic inflammation
Abstract
Background Increased epithelial permeability has been reported in allergic rhinitis, with histamine and type‐2 inflammation being responsible for tight junction dysfunction. The impact of an epithelial barrier defect on allergic sensitization and mast cell (MC) degranulation remains speculative. Methods Transepithelial passage of allergens was evaluated on primary human nasal epithelial cell cultures. Active sensitization was attempted by...
