Examples of opsonization
opsonization
The LLV coating was also found to protect the particle surface from opsonization by highly abundant serum proteins.

Fc receptor-mediated opsonization also enhances the expression of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD40, CD80 and CD86 on the DC surface, promoting T cell activation.

In 1904 Almoth Wright described the efficient process of opsonization and with it tried to link cellular phagocytic immune responses to the adaptive humoral response.

It is suggested that the positive surface charge of the nanoparticle decreases the rate of opsonization of nanoparticles in the liver, thus affecting the excretory pathway.

That being said, if we could imagine a system where opsonization and MAC formation were completely independent, I believe that opsonization defects would have a much greater defect in overall health.

- Process whereby opsonins make an invading microorganism more susceptible to phagocytosis
- An opsonin is any molecule that acts as a binding enhancer for the process of phagocytosis, for example, by coating the negatively-charged molecules on the membrane.
- The process of opsonizing
- (opsonic) Relating to, produced by, or involving opsonin
- The process by which antigens are altered so that they are more readily and more efficiently engulfed and destroyed by immune cells.
- A process that identifies cells or bacteria to the phagocytic system (immune cells that engulf pathogens) that then and attack and engulf cells or bacteria that have been identified to them by the complement or antibody system.
- Literally means "preparation for eating". The coating of a bacterium with antibody and/or complement that leads to enhanced phagocytosis of the bacterium by phagocytic cells.
- Opsonization is the process of attaching molecules such as antibodies or complement proteins to a microbial surface. Opsonization targets the microbe for phagocytosis. IgG antibody works by opsonization--that is, IgG attaches to antigens and targets them for phagocytosis.
- The process by which antibodies enhance the ability of phagocytic cells to attack bacteria.
