Spleen cells from Schistosoma mansoni-infected mice produce diffusible stimulator of eosinophilopoiesis in vivo

Nature volume 262, pages 586–587 (1976)Cite this article

Abstract

WE have previously demonstrated that a diffusible stimulator of eosinophilopoiesis is produced in mice after secondary injection with tetanus toxoid (TT)1. Lymphoid cells from TT-primed animals are capable of producing a diffusible eosinophilopoietic stimulator in non-primed hosts on intraperitoneal TT injection2. To establish that this is not a unique phenomenon, limited to this antigen, but rather that it is characteristic of antigen-induced eosinophilias and associated eosinophilopoietic responses, we have studied eosinophilopoiesis in a parasite-induced eosinophilia.
