3 Reasons to Consider this Method in Kinase Inhibitor Drug Development Basophils are the circulating immune cells that participate in allergic reactions and share many of the signaling pathways that are also present in other types of immune cells that may develop into blood cancers or participate in the development of autoimmune disorders. Therefore, measuring
