Because they outnumber by far the leucocytes they need to be removed to do a FACS analysis of the Basophils.
32.
Other innate leukocytes include natural killer cells, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
33.
RBL ( Rat Basophilic Leukemia cells ) are cancerous basophil cells that are well suited for the study of allergy.
34.
The mast cell is very similar in both appearance and function to the basophil, another type of white blood cell.
35.
Fc?RI is expressed on mast cells, basophils, and the antigen-presenting dendritic cells in both mice and humans.
36.
When an infection occurs, mature basophils will be released from the bone marrow and travel to the site of infection.
37.
When basophils are injured, they will release histamine, which contributes to the inflammatory response that helps fight invading organisms.
38.
OIT also creates an increase in allergen-specific basophils, two cell types that are large contributors to allergic reaction.
39.
PAF is produced by stimulated basophils, monocytes, polymorphonuclear neutrophils, platelets, and endothelial cells primarily through lipid remodeling.
40.
Basophils are the least common of the granulocytes, representing about 0.5 to 1 % of circulating white blood cells.
