opsonisoivien
Opsonisoivien is a term used in immunology to refer to factors that promote opsonization, the process by which pathogens are marked for destruction by phagocytes. In this context, an opsonisoiva agent is any molecule that enhances the recognition and uptake of microbes by immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages.
Opsonization works by coating the surface of a pathogen with specific molecules that are recognized by phagocyte
There are two principal pathways that lead to opsonization: the classical pathway, which is antibody-dependent, and
Clinical relevance is significant: deficiencies in opsonins or their receptors can lead to increased susceptibility to
