| | Basophils are responsible for the symptoms of allergy. | | | Basophils, like neutrophils, express a number of adhesion molecules important for homing, such as LFA-1 (CD11aCD18), Mac-1 (CD11bCD18) and CD44. | | | Basophils are derived from bone marrow progenitors (psc) and contain granules that bind basic dyes. |

| | The role of basophils in the pathogenesis of asthma is still not well defined. | | | The frequency of basophils was significantly higher in the tissue from FA patients than from the NAF and control groups. | | | Therefore, it would not be surprising if such basophil accumulation played a role in mediator release in the lower airways as well, contributing to the pathogenesis of asthma. |

| | A peripheral basophilia is uncommon; however, it does occur in some animals with heartworm disease (and other causes of systemic antigenemia) or pathologic lipemias (eg, liver disease, nephrotic syndrome, and hereditary hyperlipoproteinemias). | | | Granulocytes consist of neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils, which are produced in the bone marrow from a common progenitor cell, the myeloblast. | | | Although basophils and mast cells have similar functions and enzymatic contents, basophils do not become mast cells and there is no proof of a common precursor cell. |
