Research Abstract

The number of eosinophils is well known to be one of the best clinical markers for assessing the severity of allergic inflammation; however, the precise roles of eosinophils in vivo remain unclear. In the present study we comprehensively analyzed mRNA expression profiles of eosinophils after exposure to various cytokines, chemokines and immobilized immunoglobulins, and compared them with those of human blood cells. As a result, we identified a number of genes specifically expressed in human eosinophil. Those included cytokines and chemokines, suggesting that eosinophils may play important roles not only as effecter cells but also as regulatory cells in vivo.
