Eosinophil-mediated bile duct stricture. A case studied by immunohistochemistry

Arch Pathol Lab Med. 1992 Nov;116(11):1241-3.

Abstract

Major basic protein accounts for the majority of the protein within the eosinophilic granule. Utilizing immunohistochemical staining for major basic protein, we have demonstrated the dominant role of the eosinophil in a reversible bile duct stricture.
