Eosinophil protein X concentration is dependent on eosinophil concentration

Abstract

The relationship between the eosinophil concentration and the serum eosinophil protein X concentration was investigated in 80 subjects. Higher eosinophil counts resulted in obviously increased serum eosinophil protein X concentrations. However, the amount of eosinophil protein X released per eosinophil granulocyte is significantly higher in subjects with lower eosinophil counts. Atopic subjects (N = 19) show a significantly higher eosinophil concentration (p = 0.002) and eosinophil protein X concentration (p = 0.004) and a significantly lower eosinophil protein X/eosinophil ratio (p = 0.02), compared with non-atopic subjects (N = 61). However, there appears to be no difference between the concentration of eosinophil protein X in atopic and non-atopic subjects if the eosinophil concentration is taken into account. When using eosinophil protein X as an indicator of eosinophil activation, for instance in asthmatic subjects, the eosinophil count should also be considered for correct clinical interpretation of results.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
