PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Both homogeneous and crystalloid-containing granules contain an arginine-and zinc-rich basic protein, a peroxidase (distinct from neutrophil peroxidase) and acid phosphatase. Eosinophil granules also contain phospholipase B and D, histaminase, ribonuclease, -glucuronidase, cathepsin and collagenase but not lysozyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -The eosinophil is a specialized cell of the immune system. This proinflammatory white blood cell generally has a nucleus with two lobes (bilobed) and cytoplasm filled with approximately 200 large granules containing enzymes and proteins with different (known and unknown) functions.
