Abstract
Eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorders (EGDs) are characterized by a pronounced cellular inflammation. Recent clinical and experimental investigations have implicated a family of molecules known as chemokines in the regulation of leukocyte recruitment in these diseases. The underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in chemokine-mediated cellular infiltration are largely unknown. In this review, we describe the role of CD4+ T cells and eosinophils in the clinical manifestations of EGDs and discuss the current understanding of the role of chemokines in the recruitment of these cells in the expression of diseases.Entities:
