A prospective 4-month follow-up of children hospitalized with bronchiolitis revealed that high concentrations of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) are predictive of wheezing after bronchiolitis. In the 29 patients who received no anti-inflammatory therapy the median

## Abstract To clarify the role of tissue eosinophils in and around inflammatory foci, we purified eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and examined its effect on muscle protein degradation in vitro. Eosinophil cationic protein was purified from the buffy coat of blood from healthy volunteers. Myofibr
The purpose of this study was to determine the value of serum measurements of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil protein X (EPX) in diagnosing asthma in children, and to investigate the influence of concomitant allergic diseases and atopic sensitization, assessed by skin prick tests (S
Although it is known that eosinophils consistently infiltrate rejecting human liver allografts, their function is unknown. Infiltrating eosinophils can release a cytotoxic substance, eosinophil cationic protein. Furthermore, eosinophil cationic protein may be identified in biopsy specimens using imm
