Basophils
Basophils are a type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions and asthma. High levels of basophils can indicate these conditions.
iollo markers that associate with Basophils
Histamine
Histamine is released by basophils and mast cells during allergic reactions and inflammation. Elevated histamine levels are directly associated with increased basophil counts and activity.

Tryptophan
Tryptophan and its metabolites like serotonin may influence basophil recruitment and activation, as serotonin can be released by activated basophils. However, the relationship is not as direct as with histamine.
