Abstract excerpt
Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a toxic, granule-stored protein of the eosinophil granulocyte. It is a heterogeneous protein; molecular weights can differ from 15 to 22 kDa, due to glycosylations. We purified high molecular weight ECP from blood donors with the ECP434GG (rs2073342) genotype, with the aim of examining whether removal of carbohydrates could enhance the cytotoxic capacity. The cytotoxic...
