“…Although findings concerning the extravasal distribution and elimination of eosinophilic granulocytes provides new information on the kinetics and physiology of these cells, the main functions of eosinophilic granulocytes are still not known. Neutro-philic granulocytes are important in the organism's chain of defence mechanisms called physiological inflammation and are especially seen in the gastrointestinal mucosa, the respiratory tract, and the female genitals (Teir & Wikstrom 1969). The fact that the numbers of eosinophilic granulocytes are highest in these organs seems to suggest that they, too, in some way take part in this same defence mechanism.…”

Tissue eosinophils were systematically determined from 36 organs or tissues of three cows and three pigs. The number of eosinophils ranged from 0 to 1,500 per mm2. Their densities were highest in the intestinal region, especially the small intestine. Moderate numbers (50–200 per mm2) were noted in the stomach, spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, dermis, and conjunctiva. No eosinophils were seen in 12 tissues. The quantitative presence of tissue eosinophils in the different organs suggests that they are part of the local, cellular defence mechanism of the organism.
