The attenuation of eosinophilia by the administration of monoclonal antibodies to CCR3 consistently correlates with impairment in worm elimination following primary intraperitoneal Brugia pahangi infections in mice. Host protection was unimpaired in mice deficient in eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) or major basic protein 1 (MBP-1), suggesting that eosinophils are essential in host protection but that neither EPO nor MBP-1 alone is.
给予抗CCR3单克隆抗体后嗜酸性粒细胞增多症的减轻,始终与小鼠初次腹腔感染彭亨布鲁线虫后蠕虫清除受损相关。在缺乏嗜酸性粒细胞过氧化物酶(EPO)或主要碱性蛋白1(MBP-1)的小鼠中,宿主保护功能未受损,这表明嗜酸性粒细胞在宿主保护中至关重要,但单独的EPO或MBP-1并非如此。
