Spontaneous eosinophil-erythrocyte rosette formation.
Eosinophils of dogs form rosettes with washed human erythrocytes in a manner very similar to that of thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes. Identification of rosette-forming eosinophils was made by both light and electron microscopic study of eosinophils infiltrating into the canine transmissible venereal sarcoma.
