opszonizálhatják

Opszonizálhatják is a Hungarian verb that translates to "can be opsonized" in English. Opsonization is a biological process that facilitates phagocytosis, the engulfment of particles by cells. In the context of immunology, opsonization specifically refers to the coating of a pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or other foreign particle by specific molecules called opsonins. These opsonins act like flags, marking the particle for easier recognition and destruction by phagocytic cells, like macrophages and neutrophils.

Common opsonins include antibodies, complement proteins, and certain lectins. When antibodies bind to the surface of a pathogen, their Fc regions can be recognized by receptors on phagocytic cells, enhancing the efficiency of phagocytosis. Similarly, complement proteins, activated through various pathways, can deposit on the surface of microbes, also acting as signals for phagocytes. The term "opszonizálhatják" therefore implies the potential or capability for such a marking and subsequent enhancement of engulfment to occur. It's a crucial mechanism in the innate and adaptive immune responses for clearing infections and foreign material from the body.
