Activation of platelets by eosinophil granule proteins

Two of the four principal cationic proteins of the eosinophil granule, major basic protein (MBP) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), were shown to be platelet agonists. Both MBP and EPO evoked a dose-dependent nonlytic secretion of platelet 5-hydroxytryptamine in unstirred platelet suspensions even in...
