Distribution of Major Basic Protein on Human Airway following In Vitro Eosinophil Incubation

Figure 2

(a) Human eosinophils immediately (<10 min) adhere to freshly isolated human airway in vitro. Human eosinophils adhere to adventitial surface of human airway and epithelial surface (not seen) (bronchial diameter = 1.5 mm, phase contrast 100x). (b) Eosinophils immediately (<10 min) adhere to cultured human airway myocytes. Wright’s stain of eosinophils adhering to passage 1 serum-deprived elongated airway myocytes (phase contrast 600x).
