	eosinophil granulocyte Dr.Jastrow's electron microscopic atlas
		Eosinophilic granulocytes or eosonophils (Terminologia histologica: Granulocyti acidophili; Eosinophili) belong to the white blood cells (leucocytes).
		Eosinophils are attracted by a factor released by basophilic granulocytes and mast cells in case of inflammatory reactions where they are supposed to reduce local histamine effects.
		Eosinophils are phagocyted by macrophages and during their degradation inside large phagolysosomes the macrophages show typical Charcot-Leyden crystals consisting of lysophospholipase.

	eMedicine - Eosinophilia : Article Excerpt by: Michaelann Liss, DO
		Eosinophils are derived from hematopoietic stem cells initially committed to the myeloid line and then to the basophil-eosinophil granulocyte lineage.
		A secondary or reactive increase in blood eosinophils, tissue eosinophils, or both is associated with a wide variety of infections (especially helminthic parasites), allergic responses, neoplasms, connective tissue disorders, medications and endocrinopathies.
		In addition to these cytokines, eosinophils are a source of several cationic proteins that also contribute to the immunologic responses against infectious disease agents and to tissue damage in allergic and autoimmune diseases.

		Eosinophils are derived from hematopoietic stem cells that are committed initially to the myeloid and subsequently to the basophil-eosinophil granulocyte lineage.
		Interleukin 5 is considered the major eosinophil growth and survival factor, whereas chemokines (eotaxin, platelet-activating factor, RANTES [regulated on activation, normal T expressed and secreted]) and endothelial adhesion molecules (integrins, vascular cell adhesion molecules) contribute to eosinophil trafficking.
		Major basic protein, eosinophil cationic protein, and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin are the primary mediators of eosinophil-associated toxicity to microbes (parasites, protozoa, bacteria, viruses) and human tissue (myocarditis, pneumonitis, dermatitis, neuropathy, vasculitis).

		We are characterizing the regulatory regions of the genes encoding the eosinophil-specific alpha (a) subunit of the IL-5 receptor (IL-5Ra), the eosinophil granule cationic proteins [major basic protein (MBP) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO)], and the Charcot-Leyden crystal (CLC) protein (Galectin-10).
		These eosinophil promoters/enhancers are being analyzed as models for the differential regulation of myeloid specific genes in general, and eosinophil specific genes in particular, in the process of the commitment and differentiation of stem cells and multipotential bone marrow-derived progenitors to the granulocyte lineages.
		Related projects characterizing eosinophil effector mechanisms in the pathophysiology of asthma and other allergic diseases include studies of the mechanisms by which eosinophils induce airways dysfunction, fibroblast and epithelial cell activation, and the production of inflammatory cytokines and other mediators of tissue remodeling and pathological tissue fibrosis in the lung, gastrointestinal tract and other tissues.

	Current Drug Targets – Inflammation & Allergy, Vol. 2, No. 4, 2003
		Manipulation of the process of granulocyte (eosinophil and neutrophil) apoptosis, as well as engineering modified versions of hemopoietic cytokines, such as IL-5, are current approaches to developing valuable tools for intervention in the context of hemopoiesis in allergy.
		Eosinophilic infiltration is a cardinal feature of allergic inflammation; based upon its biological actions, the eosinophil has assumed the role as the principal inflammatory cell in asthma.
		In assessing the mechanisms by which eosinophils are recruited to sites of inflammation, a sizeable body of evidence exists supporting the proposal that expansion of hemopoietic compartments in the bone marrow stimulates an increased turnover and traffic of mature eosinophils to the site of allergic inflammation.

		Since the eosinophil is recruited from the circulation to the inflammatory lesion, it would be of practical use if measurements of the early activation of the eosinophil ("priming") in the blood stream could reflect the inflammation in local tissue, e.g.
		This is in contrast to the increased expression of CD9 on eosinophils in the presence of platelets, which is probably due to adherent platelets rather than only a translocation from the intracellular pool of CD9 to the cell surface.
		We suggest that the use of allergen challenge in skin chambers is a useful in vivo model for further studies of eosinophil recruitment, their state of activation and the involvement of different allergic inflammatory mediators, such as chemokines and cytokines.
