Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a certain cell type (the CD49d+ neutrophil) is associated with the presence or development of allergic disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A specific subset of neutrophils (CD49d+) will be recruited to the nasal tissue of individuals with allergic disease, and that these cells will also be found in the peripheral blood of allergic subjects. Normal subjects (those without atopy) and those treated for atopic disease will lack the presence of these cells.
