AB Hematopoietic  stem  cells  that  differentiate  into  common  myeloid  stem  cells  give  rise  to  granulocytes  that  include  mast  cells  (MC),  eosinophils,  basophils,  and  neutrophils.  In  addition  to  the  shared  heritage,  granulocytes  share  physical  and  functional  similarities.  MCs  and  eosinophils  are  popularly  known  for  their  presence  and  function  during  allergic  diseases.  Because  physicians  have  noted  a  clear  connection  between  mast  cell  activation  and  the  subsequent  appearance  of  eosinophils  both  within  the  circulation  and  in  tissues  for  over  a  century,  MCs  and  eosinophils  are  considered  together  in  this  chapter.
