The Basophil

ABOUT THE BASOPHILS

Basophils are the largest granulocyte and make up about 0.5-1% of circulating white blood cells in the body. They are part of the inflammatory response and coordinated immune response. Basophils are created and mature within the bone marrow. They have large cytoplasmic granules and a two-lobed nucleus. Cell surface proteins bind immunoglobulin, IgE, and help to mediate the secondary immune response. Basophils store histamine, a vasodilator and heparin, an anticoagulant. They can be recruited into tissues from circulating blood when needed to respond to allergic reactions.
