Eosinophils play a protective role in host immunity to infections by parasitic worms and,
detrimentally, are involved in the pathophysiology of asthma and other allergic diseases …

Eosinophils have been traditionally perceived as terminally differentiated cytotoxic effector
cells. Recent studies have profoundly altered this simplistic view of eosinophils and their …

The functions ascribed to eosinophils have classically been limited to host defence against
certain parasitic infections and potentially deleterious effects in the setting of specific …

Eosinophils are leukocytes resident in mucosal tissues. During T‐helper 2 (Th2)‐type
inflammation, eosinophils are recruited from bone marrow and blood to the sites of immune …

The eosinophil is a fully delineated granulocyte that disseminates throughout the
bloodstream to end-organs after complete maturation in the bone marrow. While the …

Although the eosinophil was first identified over a century ago and its association with
asthma and parasitic disease was noted shortly afterwards, its role has remained enigmatic …

The human eosinophil has long been thought to favorably influence innate mucosal
immunity but at times has also been incriminated in disease pathophysiology. Research into …

The eosinophilis a bone marrow–derived, peripheral blood and tissue granulocyte
prominent in allergic and inflammatory responses against metazoan helminthic parasites but …

Eosinophils have been traditionally understood as end-stage, primarily cytotoxic effector
cells. Recent studies have had profound impact on this limited view and have led to new …

The eosinophil has a potent armory of proinflammatory mediators with considerable
potential to initiate and sustain an inflammatory response. These include cytotoxic granule …
