An association between eosinophilia and neutropenia has been observed in a number of clinical conditions. To probe the role of eosinophils in granulopoiesis, marrow and peritoneal eosinophils, obtained from Schbrosoma munsoni-infected mice, were separated and purified. Normal bone marrow cells were

## Abstract Asthma is a chronic disorder of the airways characterized by variable airway narrowing, mucus hypersecretion, and infiltration of the airway wall with eosinophils. It is now believed that asthma is controlled by Th2 lymphocytes producing cytokines such as ILโ€4, ILโ€5, ILโ€9, and ILโ€13. An
