Although the mechanisms through which platelets influence eosinophil behavior are not well defined, platelets seem to contribute to the selective accumulation of eosinophils at sites of allergic ...

ECP is a marker of the activity and turnover of the eosinophil granulocyte. [4] Our study was designed to examine P-ET levels in paediatric patients newly diagnosed with mild persistent bronchial ...

First, it stimulates the proliferation of macrophage progenitors, which is followed by granulocyte, erythroid, eosinophil, megakaryocyte, and multipotent progenitors. It also stimulates the ...

The granules in eosinophils contain four major proteins: major basic protein (MBP), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), eosinophil peroxidize (EPO), and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN).

If this happens on a test called a white blood cell differential, you may need to get another blood test called an absolute eosinophil count. You might also get this test if your doctor thinks you ...

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell. Low eosinophil numbers may occur due to certain medications or an underlying health condition, such as Cushing syndrome. Eosinophils play a role in the ...

However, immunohistologic examination with fluorescein-conjugated antibodies to eosinophil granule major basic protein 1 (MBP1) revealed striking extracellular deposits of eosinophil granule MBP1 ...

Very high numbers may indicate a serious health condition. An eosinophil count is a blood test typically reported as part of a white blood cell count (WBC) with differential, when a complete blood ...

The study comprised 264,590 patients whose eosinophil levels were measured. There were no significant changes in blood pressure following anti-IL-5 therapy, which depletes eosinophils. SAN DIEGO ...

In some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), type 2 inflammation may increase exacerbation risk and may be indicated by elevated blood eosinophil counts. Dupilumab ...

High eosinophil levels may indicate an immune reaction to infection, cancer, or allergens. Low eosinophil levels may result from alcohol intoxication or indicate an underlying hormone disorder.
