These observations exemplify some aspects of the intriguing complexity of the parasite-host relationship established during very long co-evolution Fig. Bloch called attention to an apparent discrepancy in the extent of the attack on schistosomules by granulocytes between the in vivo observations and in vitro studies. The later experiments have repeatedly demonstrated that granulocytes and other cells involve a major number of schistosomules, adhering to them and killing them.

While cell adherence to schistosomules was observed in vivo , the number of schistosomules attacked was small. According to Bloch , the reason for the discrepancy may be that in vivo the parasites are metabolically more active and alter their surface membranes more rapidly, so that cell adherence is not so effective as in in vitro environment. Lozzi et al. However, only in the reinfected animals, were the eosinophils able to adhere to the larval surface, damaged larval being found inside eosinophilic infiltrates. These authors questioned the significance of this adhesion, since it could either signify a role in larval death or a phenomenon secondary to larval degenerative changes.

Why helminths have been responsible for evolutionary pressure to eosinophil response in most of their hosts? Is it any particular type of adaptative immune response Mitchell that favors the host and the parasite? The eosinophil is an ubiquitous cell, able to hide its purposes for more than years thousands or millions of years? What is its role in the normal physiology? To answer this question it will be fundamental to do phylogenetic and in vivo studies, together with molecular biology approaches.

In this context, McNagny et al. By analogy to saxiphilin, melanotransferrin may have evolved to bind and inactivate toxic substances present in intestine or generated during kidney filtration or eosinophil maturation.

Further experiments are required to elucidate the molecule's true function McNagny et al. In fact, infections by parasites can be useful models to study eosinophil physiology and physiopathology, because the parasites may function as natural eosinophil stimulants or depressors.

According to Samter , eosinophils continue to be "nominated but not elected cells". Actually the function of eosinophils is complex, varied and still unknown, but can be artificially schematized as in Fig. Activation of complement by human eosinophil granule major basic protein.
