Phagocytic mechanisms:
1. Adherence: cell binds to invader
Aided by opsonization (a chemical process that enhances binding via
complement & antibodies)
2. Ingestion: formation of phagolysosomes
Respiratory Bursts: merge phagosome with lysosome & flood phagolysosome
with free radicals (macrophage)
Defensins: proteins that crystallize out of solution & pierce pathogen
membranes (neutrophils)
