Plasminogen levels in subjects with eosinophilia.

Abstract

Plasminogen determinations were performed in 98 normal volunteers and 50 subjects with eosinophilia. There was no significant difference in the plasminogen levels between these two groups. Since, increased eosinophils in the bone marrow of those eosinophilic subjects were also demonstrated. This observation should raise a question as to whether the eosinophils would really be the site of systemic plasminogen synthesis.
