Identification of surface molecules on eosinophils and lymphocytes in blood from patients with eosinophilia.
Surface molecules on eosinophils and lymphocytes in blood from patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), Kimura's disease and normal volunteers were examined. In all 3 patients with HES, CD54-positive eosinophils were increased and in some patients with HES and Kimura's disease HLA-DR-positive eosinophils were increased. Additionally, CD11b-positive, CD16-positive, CD25-positive, CD54-positive, CD69-positive and HLA-DR-positive lymphocytes were increased in some of these patients.
