response, is able to opsonize pathogen before adaptive immunity may even be required. Complement proteins involved in innate opsonization include C4b, C3b...

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

infections. The alternative pathway is one of three complement pathways that opsonize and kill pathogens. The pathway is triggered when the C3b protein directly...

activated differently, the overall role of the complement system is to opsonize pathogens and induce a series of inflammatory responses that help to combat...

subject to any of a number of responses, including complement deposition, opsonization, phagocytosis, or processing by proteases. Red blood cells carrying CR1-receptors...

together via agglutination; IgG coating of pathogen surfaces (known as opsonization) allows their recognition and ingestion by phagocytic immune cells leading...

peptides that attract immune cells, increase vascular permeability, and opsonize (coat) the surface of a pathogen, marking it for destruction. This deposition...

molecules marks the microbe for ingestion by phagocytes in a process called opsonization; these phagocytes are attracted by certain complement molecules generated...

antibodies lower infection through three main pathways: neutralization, opsonization, and complement activation. Antibodies neutralize pathogens by binding...

when activated, creates a cascade of chemical reactions that promotes opsonization, chemotaxis, and agglutination, and produces the MAC. The kinin system...

considered an important part of the innate immune system. C3b is potent in opsonization: tagging pathogens, immune complexes (antigen-antibody), and apoptotic...

These proteins can bind to sugars on the surface of pathogens and thereby opsonize them for uptake by phagocytes. It also regulates inflammatory responses...

recognized, they must be coated in opsonins – a process known as antibody opsonization. They can internalize and kill many microbes, each phagocytic event resulting...

negative regulation of macrophage derived foam cell differentiation opsonization defense response to Gram-positive bacterium complement activation, classical...

proliferation of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. Also promotes the production of IgG, an opsonizing antibody. Humoral immune system. Stimulates B-cells into proliferation...

These proteins can bind to sugars on the surface of pathogens and thereby opsonize them for uptake by phagocytes. It also regulates inflammatory responses...

activity. Both complement proteins and antibodies can bind to antigens and opsonize them. Macrophages have complement receptor 1 (CR1) and 3 (CR3) that recognize...

anti-receptor activity. The activation of the complement system results in opsonization, the agglutination of red blood cells, cell lysis, and cell death. These...

immunoglobulins. IgA is a poor activator of the complement system, and opsonizes only weakly.[citation needed] IgA exists in two isotypes, IgA1 and IgA2...

papain-digested antibody is unable to promote agglutination, precipitation, opsonization, and lysis, however, the Fab fragment is still able to bind to and neutralize...
