Major basic protein and eosinophil peroxidase support microfilariae motility inhibition by eosinophil ETosis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Eosinophils are a hallmark of filarial infections. They are primary effector cells and can attack filariae by releasing extracellular traps that contain toxic cationic proteins, such as eosinophil peroxidase and major basic protein.
