Notes: 3-Bromotyrosine is a product of protein oxidation found after activation of eosinophils during an allergic response.{39006,39007,39009} It has been used as a marker of eosinophil peroxidase-induced protein oxidation in vitro and in vivo.{39007,39010} In addition to its production in eosinophils, 3-bromotyrosine is found at 5-fold higher levels in peritoneal exudate from mice infected with K. pneumoniae compared with uninfected animals, suggesting neutrophils release higher levels of oxidized products during inflammation.{39011} In a human study, 3-bromotyrosine was increased 10-fold in allergen-challenged lung samples from subjects with allergen-induced asthma.{39007}
