Popis:	Unlike normal, opsonin aided human eosinophils, fMLP-activated human eosinophils are capable of destroying virulent E. histolytica. Opsonins are not required for this action, although they enhance the effect. Some activated eosinophils succumb in the action as well, probably victims of toxic products released by dying amebas. Activated eosinophils thus appear to resemble activated macrophages in their dealing with this parasite.
