title: The content of eosinophil cationic protein in eosinophil leucocytes. Study on normal controls and patients with bronchial asthma.
abstract: Eosinophil cationic protein constitutes a major part of eosinophil leucocyte granule protein. Low serum concentrations have previously been found in patients with bronchial asthma. As this might reflect a low intracellular content, eosinophils were isolated from normal controls and patients with bronchial asthma. Eosinophil cationic protein was estimated after extraction of the cells and a similar content was found in cells from both groups.
