Eosinophil trafficking in asthma [PDF]
Asthma is characterised by a 50-fold increase in the number of eosinophils relative to neutrophils in the bronchial mucosa. This is the result of the cumulative and sequential effects of several, approximately fourfold, increases in selective eosinophil versus neutrophil migration occurring at a number of stages in the life cycle of the eosinophil ...

Glucocorticoids and Mepolizumab in Eosinophilic Asthma
report that treatment with mepolizumab, a monoclonal antibody against interleukin-5, allowed a modest reduction in the maintenance dose of oral gluco -corticoids in patients who had severe eosino-philic asthma. The absolute reduction in the median dose of prednisone in the mepolizumab group was from 10.0 mg per day to 3.1 mg per day (as compared with a
