Fig 1 Evaluation of expression of antimicrobial mRNA and protein in uncinate and inferior turbinate tissues of healthy human subjects. Total RNA and protein were extracted from uncinate and inferior turbinate tissues of healthy subjects. Expression of mRNA was analyzed by using real-time PCR. Expression of proteins was analyzed by using ELISA. AB/PAS staining was used to observe differences in the presence of glands. Data for panels D (Tieu et al7) and E to H (UT only-Seshadri et al5) are taken from earlier publications as indicated. AB, Alcian blue; NEC, nasal scraping cells; NS, not significant; PAS, periodic acid-Schiff. *P < .05, **P < .01, and ***P < .001 (Mann-Whitney U test).

Fig E1 Evaluation of expression of nitric oxide synthase mRNA in uncinate and inferior turbinate tissues of healthy human subjects. Expression of mRNA of NOS1 (nNOS), NOS2 (iNOS), and NOS3 (eNOS) was evaluated by using real-time PCR.
