  • Publication number: 20020034726
    Abstract: An eosinophil chemotactic factor which is constantly secreted by a T cell clone STO-2 is partially purified and a specific antibody was generated. Using this antibody, a DNA library derived from the clone was screened to find that ecalectin, a galectin consisting of 323 amino acids has a specific eosinophil chemotactic activity. Use of the galectin makes it possible to provide an agent having an effect of increasing eosinophils in a tissue, and a method for screening compounds inhibiting the effect. Moreover, an agent containing as an effective ingredient a compound that inhibits eosinophil increase in a tissue, is effective as therapeutic, preventive or ameliorative agents for various allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, eosinophilic tympanitis, nasal polyp, eosinophilic pneumonia, and atopic dermatitis, which are typical delayed inflammatory diseases attributed to eosmophils.
