The blood basophils lead a shadowy existence in the field of hematology, even now, 100 years after their discovery by PAUL EHRLICH.

In this book, I review much of the structural information regarding basophils and mast cells of multiple species.

This second edition provides updated and new chapters to build on and extend the strengths of the first edition.

This book examines the latest research developments in the field of basophil granulocytes, sometimes referred to as basophils, which are the least common of the granulocytes, representing about 0.01% to 0.3% of circulating white blood cells ...

Mast Cells and Basophils will be essential reading for immunologists, biochemists and medical researchers.

In this book, the author reviews the ultrastructural studies of basophils and mast cells performed since the publication of an earlier monograph in 1991.

Written by clinical investigators specialising in diseases related to mast cells and basophils, this volume will be stimulating reading for those working in allergy, immunology, biochemistry, and respiration.
