Effector functions of eosinophils in schistosomiasis
The dual function of eosinophils is clearly illustred in schistosomiasis. Well equipped in membrane receptors for immunoglobulins and complement, and due to the presence of granule basic proteins, eosinophils can become cytotoxic for parasite larvae and thus participate to protective immunity.
