abstract：BACKGROUND:Eosinophils develop from hematopoietic CD34(+) progenitor cells in the bone marrow (BM) under the influence of Interleukin-5 (IL-5). The primary source of IL-5 is T-lymphocytes, although other sources may exist. The aims of this study were to determine whether CD34(+) cells from human peripheral blood (PB) a...
