  2. Eosinophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil

    Histology of an eosinophil within epithelium, characterized by its bilobed nucleus despite scant visible eosinophilic cytoplasm. Following activation, eosinophils effector functions include production of the following: Cationic granule proteins and their release by degranulation [14] [15] [16]

  3. Major basic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_basic_protein

    PRG2 is a 117-residue protein that predominates in eosinophil granules. It is a potent enzyme against helminths and is toxic towards bacteria and mammalian cells in vitro. The eosinophil major basic protein also causes the release of histamine from mast cells and basophils, and activates neutrophils and alveolar macrophages.

  4. Eosinophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia

    Eosinophilia is a condition in which the eosinophil count in the peripheral blood exceeds 5 × 10 8 /L (500/μL). [1] Hypereosinophilia is an elevation in an individual's circulating blood eosinophil count above 1.5 × 10 9 /L (i.e. 1,500/μL).

  5. Granulocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulocyte

    There are four types of granulocytes (full name polymorphonuclear granulocytes): [3] Basophils; Eosinophils; Neutrophils; Mast cells; Except for the mast cells, their names are derived from their staining characteristics; for example, the most abundant granulocyte is the neutrophil granulocyte, which has neutrally staining cytoplasmic granules.

  6. Eosinophil cationic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil_cationic_protein

    Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) also known as ribonuclease 3 is a basic protein located in the eosinophil primary matrix. [4] In humans, the eosinophil cationic protein is encoded by the RNASE3 gene. [5] ECP is released during degranulation of eosinophils. This protein is related to inflammation and asthma because in these cases, there are ...

  7. Eosinopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinopenia

    The most widely understood function of eosinophils is in association with allergy and parasitic disease processes, though their functions in other pathologies are the subject of ongoing research. [3] The opposite phenomenon, in which the number of eosinophils present in the blood is higher than normal, is known as eosinophilia .

  9. White blood cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell

    Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), and agranulocytes (monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells)). [5] Myeloid cells include neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells, basophils, and monocytes. [6] Monocytes are further subdivided into dendritic cells and macrophages.
