Excerpt

Eosinophil infiltration of gut tissue plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis. Using a model of allergic asthma, we previously demonstrated that eosinophil migration requires surface expression of the sialomucin CD34, and that Cd34 deletion dampens asthmatic responses in mice. Since CD34 is critical for eosinophil migration, we investigated a role for CD34 in the migration of inflammatory cells into the colon using a mouse model of IBD. …
