Fig 1 A, EPX is compared with the G:T ratio in subjects with CRS and controls. B, G:T by eosinophil count categorized as 10 or less/hpf or more than 10/hpf. C, G:T by nasal polyp status. D, G:T by asthma status. E, G:T by aspirin tolerance status—aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) or not. F, G:T by sinus CT score using the Lund-Mackay scoring system. G, G:T by basement membrane thickening categories.

Fig E1 A, EPX. B, T-bet. C, GATA3. A low-power picture of tissue was taken with the Aperio slide scanner. Once scanned, slides were analyzed using an ImageScope nuclear algorithm. Columns 2 and 3 depict a 20× field of view, with column 3 depicting the false color markup ImageScope uses to show nuclear stain intensity. Nuclei are represented as different colors depending on the intensity of staining as outlined in the algorithm parameters. Blue nuclei represent Nuclear 0 cells and represent cells that have a 0% average staining intensity. Yellow nuclei represent Nuclear 1+ cells and represent cells that have a 1% to 33% average staining intensity. Orange nuclei represent Nuclear 2+ cells and represent cells that have a 33% to 66% average staining intensity. Red nuclei represent Nuclear 3+ cells and represent cells that have a 67% to 100% average staining intensity. Green outlines in column 3 depict where negative selection of tissue was implemented to reduce the amount of false-positive cells detected by the algorithm.
