In regulating vascular mediators released from mast cells,the role of eosinophils is to release:
A) Arylsulfatase B, which stimulates the formation of B lymphocytes
B) Histaminase, which limits the effects of histamine during acute inflammation
C) Lysosomal enzymes, which activate mast cell degranulation during acute inflammation
D) Immunoglobulin E, which defends the body against parasites

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eosinophil lysosomes contain several enzymes that degrade vasoactive molecules,thereby controlling the vascular effects of inflammation.These enzymes include histaminase,which mediates the degradation of histamine,and arylsulfatase B,which mediates the degradation of some of the lipid-derived mediators produced by mast cells.The other options do not accurately describe the role of eosinophils.
