  • Chapter
The Chemokines

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 351))

Abstract

Eosinophilic granulocytes (Eos) represent an inflammatory cell type hypothesized to play a crucial role in the development of chronic asthma (1), after allergen challenge in sensitized animals (2) and atopic subjects (3).
