Abstract
Free amino acid concentrations were compared in eosinophils and neutrophils obtained from patients with eosinophilia. The level of glutamic acid was significantly higher in eosinophils than in neutrophils. This abundance of glutamic acid in eosinophils may be related to the formation of Charcot-Leyden crystals.
