Plural of basophil; white blood cells that contain granules filled with histamine and heparin, involved in immune and allergic responses.
Plural of 'basophil' from Greek 'basis' (base) and '-phile' (lover), referring to multiple base-loving cells.
Basophils are immune cells with names and characteristics so similar to mast cells that scientists debated whether they're even different cells—they may be the same cell type in different locations in the body.
