Mast Cells
What is a leukocyte that releases histamine?
Both Heparin and Histamine are released by basophils and mast cells. These cells are very similar, but mast cells are found on mucous membranes (connective tissue) and basophils are white blood cells that travel in the blood in the circulatory system.
What type of white blood cells produce histamine?
Basophils are circulating white blood cells that release histamine, but mast cells also do so.
White blood cell produce antihistamines?
Yes, phagocytic white blood cells called eosinophils produce antihistamines to provide negative feed back (stop the inflammation) caused by the release of histamines from mast cells in response to trauma.
