Basal eosinophil numbers in various tissue compartments

	Eosinophils × 105 per g tissue
	Thymus (n = 4)	Lung (n = 7)	Spleen (n = 14)	Small intestine (n = 7)
Wild type	5.4  ± 1.6	4.2  ± 0.1	8.3  ± 2.8	9.0  ± 1.8
CCR3−/−	4.5  ± 0.8	5.5  ± 1.1	48  ± 9.8**	1.3  ± 0.3**

Tissue eosinophil content in naïve mice was measured by eosinophil peroxidase assay. Results are expressed as means ± SEM. Significant differences between wild-type and CCR3−/− mice are indicated as 

^**, P < 0.001, as determined by unpaired Student's t test.
