Immunohistochemical analyses were used to investigate the distribution of lymphocytes and macrophages in routine human temporal bone sections obtained from a subject with acute suppurative otitis media. Primary antibodies specific for human CD3 and CD43 (T-lymphocytes), CD20 (B-lymphocytes), CD45 (leukocyte common antigen), and CD68 (macrophages) were used. As a pretreatment, the sections were soaked in antigen retrieval solution (saturated sodium hydroxide-methanol solution in methanol at a ratio of 1:3). A second antigen retrieval procedure (microwave treatment in 1 % zinc sulfate) was also employed for identifying CD3-positive cells. Then the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique was performed. Positive reactions to all antibodies but anti-CD68 were observed in the mucosa of the eustachian tube, tympanic cavity, and mastoid air cells. Particularly, cells positive to anti-CD3 or anti-CD43 were making a diffuse invasion upon the lamina propria. CD68-positive cells were scattered only in the effusion of mastoid air cells. These results suggest that the retrospective immunohistochemical study of archival temporal bone sections is a promising approach to investigate the pathogenesis of otitis media. |
