Abstract
Lectin from Griffonia simplicifolia (GSA-I) and soybean (SBA) are reliable markers for human eosinophils. In this study we have shown that fluorochrome labeled GSA-I and SBA can be used for specific labeling of eosinophils in paraffin embedded tissue sections, in peripheral blood smears and in cell suspensions prepared for flow cytometry. These two lectins are useful diagnostic reagents which could be applied for further characterization of cytoplasmic components selectively found in human eosinophils.Entities:
