Eosinophil-associated disease is a term used to encompass a range of disorders from hypereosinophilic syndrome to asthma. Despite the longstanding belief that eosinophils can be primary contributors to disease pathophysiology, it is only in recent years that direct and selective reduction or elimination of eosinophils can be achieved in animals or in humans. These developments have been made possible in mice through clever targeting of eosinophil production. Use of antibodies and other agents that target soluble eosinophil-related molecules such as interleukin-5 (IL-5) or cell surface structures such as CCR3 has also proved useful in reducing blood and tissue eosinophils. In humans, the only eosinophil-selective agents tested in clinical trials so far are neutralizing antibodies to IL-5, with promising but mixed results. At the very least, such forms of pharmacologic hypothesis testing of the role of eosinophils in certain airway, gastrointestinal and hematologic diseases has finally provided us with new insights into disease pathogenesis. At its optimistic best, these and other targeted agents may someday become available for those afflicted with eosinophil-associated disorders. This review summarizes what has been learned in vivo in both preclinical and clinical studies of eosinophil-directed therapies, with an emphasis on recent advances.
