“…However, cellular identification based solely on cytochemical and/or histochemical staining characteristics may lead to misinterpretation as basophils, eosinophilic granule cells, mast cells, some neutrophils (also called heterophils), and rodlet cells also are capable to be dyed to various degrees. Consequently, it has been suggested that mammalian terminology should be used whenever possible for describing these cell types (Watanabe et al 1997;Suljevic et al 2017). In mammals, the eosinophils have immunological roles regarding both immune regulation, defense against parasitic infections, and allergic inflammatory reactions (Hogan et al 2008).…”
