As is known, eosinophils belong to granulocytes and perform a variety of functions in the body. They are ascribed mainly a detoxifying role, since normally they are found in large quantities in the skin, intestinal and respiratory tract mucosa, tissues and tissue fluids. In addition, eosinophils take an active part in allergic reactions, can stimulate fibrosis processes (e.g. in tumor tissues), have a cytotoxic effect (in reactions directed against helminths), etc.
