title: The biosynthesis of neutrophil and eosinophil granule proteins.
abstract: Composition of azurophil and specific granules from human polymorphonuclear neutrophils and granules from eosinophils is presented. Biosynthesis of the granule proteins is discussed in detail with particular emphasis on neutrophil myeloperoxidase (MPO) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP).
