TLDR
It is found that dermal eosinophils from lesional atopic dermatitis skin express IL-5 mRNA and protein, which might suggest an autocrine pathway of eOSinophil differentiation and activation.

A role for eosinophils in airway remodelling in asthma

TL;DR: More effective eosinophil-depleting agents than anti-IL-5 are required before the definitive role of this cell type in asthma airway pathophysiology can be established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Th2 cytokines and asthma — The role of interleukin-5 in allergic eosinophilic disease

TL;DR: The present review addresses the data that relate interleukin-5 to pulmonary inflammation and function in animal models, and the use of neutralizing anti-interleukIn-5 monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of asthma in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and clinical rationale for therapeutic targeting of interleukin‐5 and its receptor

TL;DR: Interleukin‐5 is a Th2 homodimeric cytokine involved in the differentiation, maturation, migration, development, survival, trafficking and effector function of blood and local tissue eosinophils, in addition to basophils and mast cells.

Diagnostic features of atopic dermatitis

Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant human interleukin 5 is a selective activator of human eosinophil function.

TL;DR: Human rIL-5 was found to selectively stimulate morphological changes and the function of human eosinophils, and is thus a prime candidate for the selective eOSinophilia and eos inophil activation seen in disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human interleukin-5 (IL-5) regulates the production of eosinophils in human bone marrow cultures: comparison and interaction with IL-1, IL-3, IL-6, and GMCSF.

TL;DR: RhIL-5 induced the greatest eosinophil production in liquid cultures, suggesting that although it may act on a smaller population of precursors, it is able to stimulate more proliferative steps than either rhIL-3 or rhGMCSF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly purified murine interleukin 5 (IL-5) stimulates eosinophil function and prolongs in vitro survival. IL-5 as an eosinophil chemotactic factor.

TL;DR: IL-5 is suggested to play an important role in increasing the functional activities of eosinophils as well as their production in allergic and parasitic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 3-dependent and -independent mast cells stimulated with IgE and antigen express multiple cytokines.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in addition to their inflammatory effector function mast cells may serve as a source of growth and regulatory factors.
