Eosinophils

Hello,
Does anyone have any experience sorting eosinophils ? I'm after a protocol
for pre-sort enrichment if anyone has one, and information about mouse
eosinophil specific markers, if someone knows what they are. The only
method I had thought of for enrichment was infected the mouse, with say a
protozoan parasite and attempting to sort the resulting eosinophilia. This
seems a bit crude and I would prefer not to infect the mouse. The eosinophils
are required for PCR.
All replies and suggestions welcome,
Thanks Geoff.
