IL-5 and eosinophil biology.

Notes: Schema of factors regulating eosinophilopoiesis, homing and tissue persistence in disorders of eosinophilic inflammation. Although IL-5 is a key determinant in all three compartments of this model, other factors have an important role, particularly in eosinophil chemotaxis and tissue persistence.

Abbreviations: AM, alveolar macrophage; EC, extracellular; GM-CSF, granulocyte monocyte colony-stimulating factor; IL, interleukin.
