Detailed explanation-1: -Basophil cells are unique in that they don’t recognize pathogens they’ve already been exposed to. Instead, they attack any organism they see that is unfamiliar to your body. Basophils destroy foreign organisms by surrounding and ingesting them (phagocytosis).
Detailed explanation-2: -Basophils. These small cells seem to sound an alarm when infectious agents invade your blood. They secrete chemicals, such as histamine, a marker of allergic disease, that help control the body’s immune response.
Detailed explanation-3: -Basophils Definition And Function Basophils are a type of white blood cell. Like most types of white blood cells, basophils are responsible for fighting fungal or bacterial infections and viruses. They are a granulocyte cell, which means that they release granules of enzymes to fight against harmful bacteria and germs.
Detailed explanation-4: -The immune system responds to antigens by producing cells that directly attack the pathogen, or by producing special proteins called antibodies. Antibodies attach to an antigen and attract cells that will engulf and destroy the pathogen.
