[eosinophilopoietins]
A general term for growth factors and/or cytokines acting on eosinophilc granulocytes (eosinophils) or their precursors. This term has been used to refer to (often biochemically poorly characterized) factors that stimulate eosinophil production. IL5, identified independently as Eo-CSF [Eosinophil colony stimulating factor], and GM-CSF can be described as eosinophilopoietins.
