Proteomic Characterization of Middle Ear Fluid Confirms Neutrophil Extracellular Traps as a Predominant Innate Immune Response in Chronic Otitis Media
14 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is characterized by middle ear effusion (MEE) and conductive hearing loss. MEE reflect mucus hypersecretion, but global proteomic profiling of the mucosal components are limited. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at characterizing the proteome of MEEs from children with COM with the goal of elucidating important innate immune responses. METHOD: MEEs were collected from children (n...
