I am a type of leukocyte that sounds an alarm when infectious microbes invade your blood. I also help to break down bacteria. I help with reactions that cause allergic symptoms. I can also help repair wounds and destroy early cancer cells. What am I?

Answer:

Basophils

Step-by-step explanation:

These small cells seem to sound an alarm when infectious agents invade your blood. They secrete chemicals such as histamine, a marker of allergic disease, that help control the body's immune response.

Hope it helps
