The book delves into the unique roles of basophils and mast cells in hypersensitivity reactions and their involvement in various diseases and injury responses. It emphasizes the release of inflammatory mediators from these cells and the need for further understanding of their functions in health. The author reviews structural information, particularly focusing on ultrastructural studies of rat mast cells, and discusses the contents of granules and lipid bodies in multiple species. Detailed morphology guidelines for identifying these cells across species are also provided.
