Antibody opsonization is a process by which a pathogen is marked for phagocytosis. Given normal inflammatory circumstances, microbial pathogen-associated...

Half-maximum stimulation is attained at about 100 nM. Stimulation of phagocytosis is obtained with polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) cells from human,...

Neutrophils have three strategies for directly attacking micro-organisms: phagocytosis (ingestion), release of soluble anti-microbials (including granule proteins)...
