The presence of eosinophils in the airway is associated with asthma severity and risk of exacerbations. Eosinophils deposit their damaging products in airway tissue, likely by degranulation and cytolysis. We previously showed that priming blood eosinophils with IL3 strongly increased their cytolysis on aggregated IgG. Conversely, IL5 priming did not result in significant eosinophil cytolysis in the same condition. Therefore, to identify critical events protecting eosinophils from cell cytolysis, ...[more]
