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 …

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 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 …

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 Data Sources The literature, unpublished observations, and insights by the …

Eosinophils are granulocytes, typically implicated as end-stage effector cells in type-II
immune responses. They are capable of producing a wide array of pre-formed molecules …

Eosinophils have been considered end-stage cells involved in host protection against
parasites. However, numerous lines of evidence have now changed this perspective by …

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