One of the most popular versions of Cinderella was written in French by Charles Perrault in 1697, under the name Cendrillon. The popularity of his tale was due to his additions to the story, including the pumpkin, the fairy-godmother and the introduction of glass slippers.
Basophils are only found in blood in healthy individuals (normally less than 1% of leukocytes), but are known to be rapidly recruited to inflamed tissues, where they can reach high densities (e.g., Jones-Mote reaction, antiâtick immunity) and play non-redundant roles.
They also contain the vasodilator histamine, which promotes blood flow to tissues. They can be found in unusually high numbers at sites of ectoparasite infection, e.g., ticks. Like eosinophils, basophils play a role in both parasitic infections and allergies.
