[basophil, basophilic]
Basophils are a type of bone marrow-derived granulocytes (basophilic granulocytes) that comprise less than 1 % of the circulating leukocytes. The nuclei are less heterochromatic than those of other granulocytes and stains with basophilic dyes (see also: basophil cells). These cells contain large irregularly shaped specific granules that often obscure the multilobed nucleus. These specific granules are similar to granules of mast cells in that they contain histamine and a heparin-like compound. In foreign language publications the term neutrocytes may refer to basophils.
