Functionally basophils are similar to ___. mast cells
Both mast cells and basophils have secretory granules containing ____ and ____. histamine (and) glycosaminoglycans
Both of these types of cells have receptors for IgE, and release their secretory granules in response to antigen binding to surfacebound IgE: mast cells and basophils
Both ___ mediate the hypersensitivity seen in allergies. basophils and mast cells
Basophils also differ from mast cells in that mast cells differentiate ___ migrating into the connective tissue, while basophils differentiate in the ___. A. after B. bone marrow
