Non-specific activation of human eosinophil functional responses by vasoactive intestinal peptide

Eosinophils and neuropeptides are thought to play effector roles in allergic diseases, such as rhinitis; however, little is known about the biological effects of neuromediators, especially vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), on eosinophil functional responses. In the present study, it is shown that...
