Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Eosinophil basic proteins, like eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), are implicated in allergic disease lesions.
  • Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is characterized by significant eosinophil infiltration in the conjunctiva.
