ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method for detecting or quantifying eosinophils and basophils, which consists in contacting a sample possibly containing said eosinophils or basophils with an IL-5 anti-receptor (alpha-chain) monoclonal antibody which does not interfere with IL-5 fixation to its receptor and does not inhibit the IL-5 biological activity to detect and, if required to quantify eosinophils and basphils. The invention also concerns a kit for detecting or quantifying eosinophils or basophils and an anti-IL5R antibody.
