Purified eosinophil major basic protein damaged newborn larvae of Trichinella spiralis when added to in vitro cultures. Damaged larvae were stiffened, immobile, and showed a granular appearance by light microscopy. Larvae in control cultures and in cultures containing equimolar concentrations of other basic proteins failed to exhibit such damage.
