title: Recombinant human interleukin 5 is a selective activator of human eosinophil function.
abstract: Human rIL-5 was found to selectively stimulate morphological changes and the function of human eosinophils. This molecule is thus a prime candidate for the selective eosinophilia and eosinophil activation seen in disease.
