    Glossary Eosinophil Cationic Protein

    toxic protein released by eosinophils during immune responses

    Eosinophil Cationic Protein (ECP) is a toxic protein released by eosinophils, a type of white blood cell involved in the body's immune response, particularly in allergic reactions and asthma. ECP can damage tissues and is often measured in blood tests to assess the severity of allergic conditions and inflammation.
