What Does ECP Stand For?
ECP stands for Eosinophil Cationic Protein
Eosinophil Cationic Protein (ECP) is a highly basic protein predominantly derived from eosinophils, a type of white blood cell involved in immune responses, particularly in allergic reactions and parasitic infections. ECP serves as a biomarker for eosinophilic activity and inflammation, with elevated levels often associated with conditions such as asthma, rhinitis, and other allergic diseases. Its cytotoxic properties are also significant in modulating host defense mechanisms, making it an important factor in understanding various immunological disorders.
