What is bosophill white blood cell?

Basophils are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in inflammatory responses and allergic reactions. They contain granules filled with histamine and other chemicals that are released during immune responses, contributing to inflammation and the body's defense against pathogens. Basophils are the least common type of white blood cell, making up less than 1% of the total white blood cell count. Their activation is important for fighting off certain infections and mediating allergic responses.
