For future studies, we suggest that human anti-VCAM-1 mAb may exert anti-inflammatory effects in other eosinophilic diseases, such as eosinophilic gastroenteritis, Churg-Strauss syndrome and idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome [37]. The gene discussed is VCAM1; the disease is eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
