Immunological aspects of allergic inflammation: eosinophils

Jörn Elsner; Alexander Kapp

Increased numbers of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and inflammatory tissue are characteristic features of allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and atopic dermatitis. In addition, eosinophils are believed to be of major importance in other inflammatory diseases such as connective tissue diseases of unknown origin such as hypereosinophilic syndromes and bullous dermatoses. Tissue damage and propagation of inflammation is thought to be mediated by the interaction between Th2-like T cells, antigen-presenting cells and eosinophils. In this process, eosinophils are activated by several inflammatory mediators leading to invasion of eosinophils at the site of inflammation and to tissue damaging by the release of reactive oxygen species and toxic granule proteins.

Die Entwicklung und der Einsatz neuer Techniken in der Zellbiologie, Immunologie und Genetik hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einer erheblichen Kenntniszunahme gefuhrt, die jetzt in einem besseren Verstandnis der zellularen und molekularen Mechanismen immunologischer Erkrankungen ihren Niederschlag findet. Die Anwendung dieser Erkenntnisse auf die Erkrankung des atopischen Formenkreises fuhren zu einem besseren Verstandnis der dynamischen Prozesse, die im Rahmen der Sensibilisierung und der Ausbildung der akuten und chronischen Entzundungsreaktionen ablaufen. Auch die Mechanismen der Fruh- und Spatphase der Typ-I-Reaktionen sind heute zu einem grosen Teil entschlusselt. Das folgende Kapitel soll einen Uberblick uber die wichtigsten Mitspieler in diesem komplexen und dynamischen Geflecht geben. In den Folgeabschnitten werden die wichtigsten Einzelkomponenten im Detail charakterisiert.
