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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Objective To review and highlight the unappreciated roles of eosinophils suggested by
recent studies. Data Sources The literature, unpublished observations, and insights by the …

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 a prominent cell type in particular host responses such as the response to
helminth infection and allergic disease. Their effector functions have been attributed to their …

Eosinophils are a minority circulating granulocyte classically viewed as being involved in
host defense against parasites and promoting allergic reactions. However, a series of new …

Eosinophils have traditionally been associated with allergic diseases and parasite infection.
Research advances in the recent decades have brought evolutionary changes in our …

Eosinophils are granulocytes typically associated with immune responses to a limited
number of specific insults, including helminth infection and exposure to various allergens …
