<p>Basophils are derived from the same stem cell line as [[Mast Cells - WikiBlood|mast cells]] and while they are similar to [[Mast Cells - WikiBlood|mast cells]], they are not identical (thought by some to be immature mast cells). They are the least common of all the [[Leukocytes - WikiBlood|leukocytes]], are a similar size to neutrophils and eosinophils and are characterised by the large number of basophilic staining granule in their cytoplasm. They are present in circulation but rarely found in tissue.</p>

<p>The basophil is a [[Granulocyte - WikiBlood|granulocyte]] and has a similar development to the other [[Granulocyte - WikiBlood|granulocytes]]. This process is called [[Leukopoiesis - WikiBlood#Granulopoiesis|granulopoiesis]] and further details can be found [[Leukopoiesis - WikiBlood#Basophils|here]].</p>
