Basophil
- basophilic granulocytes
- rare cell in blood smears - 0.5% basophils (>0% - 2%).
- you may not identify one in many smears.
- 2 or 3 lobed nucleus.
- lobes are not as well defined as in neutrophilic granulocytes and the nucleus may appear S-shaped.
- specific granules of basophils are stained deeply bluish or reddish-violet.
- colour may be similar to the nucleus.
- granules are less numerous as those in eosinophils.
- specific granules contain heparin, histamine, lysosomal enzymes and leukotrienes.
