Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During allergic reactions, basophils release two enzymes, histamine and heparin. Histamine enlarges your blood vessels to improve blood flow and heal the affected area. Histamine opens pathways for other cells in your immune system to quickly target and respond to the allergen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interestingly, it has been demonstrated that eosinophil-derived MBP directly activates the release of histamine and LTC4 from human basophils [15, 25].

Detailed explanation-3: -Basophils are a type of white blood cell. Although they’re produced in the bone marrow, they’re found in many tissues throughout your body.
