T. Koike et al., SERUM CONCENTRATIONS OF INTERLEUKIN-5 AND THE PRODUCTION OF LYMPHOCYTES IN REACTIVE EOSINOPHILIA, International archives of allergy and immunology, 108, 1995, pp. 16-18
The concentrations of interleukin-5 (IL-5) in serum and in IL-2-stimul
ated lymphocyte culture medium (L-IL2-CM) prepared from patients with
reactive eosinophilia were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent ass
ay. The serum IL-5 concentration was increased in 16 of 34 cases. The
concentrations of IL-5 in L-IL2-CM were increased in 8 of 31 patients.
