title: [Determination of soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels in patients with allergic rhinitis].
abstract: To explore the regulatory mechanism of the soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R) in patient allergic rhinitis, SIL-2R levels in serum and nasal secretion were detected in 39 patients with allergic rhinitis, 19 patients with chronic rhinitis and 15 normal controls, The determination of SIL-2R was done by a sandwich ELISA method. The results showed that the SIL-2R concentrations in patients with allergic rhinitis were significantly higher than those of the controls (P < 0.001). These results suggest that SIL-2R may play an important role in allergic rhinitis.
