This is an example of the study which uses the ideal control for mucin expression analysis. It investigates MUC5AC and 58 expression in maxillary sinusitis corn- pared with that in normal maxillary mucosa and clearly illustrates upregulation of the :wo mucins in chronic sinusitis.

This study supports, on the basis of an immunohistochemical evidence, an important aspect of glandular mucin upregulation in chronic sinusitis solely by glandular hyperplasia, which results in mucin upregulation in pediatric sinusitis.
