Name the blood cell that is involved with allergic processes in the body.


  #2

basophil granulocytes (in blood), mastocytes (in tissues)

  #3

thanks for ur answer.
i was wondering between eosinophils, mast cells and basophils!

If an exam Q asks the same and asks to choose the cell from a blood smear pic.....then acc. to you we shd be looking for basophils. correct?

  #4

well if its type 1 hs, always pick mast cell or pick basophils

never pick eosinophil for type 1 hs, as the ige ab attaches to the mast cell or basophil


  #5
