Opsonization is the mechanism by which targeting of particles for destruction through phagocytosis becomes enhanced. Opsonins are molecules that mark foreign particles for phagocytosis. Phagocytosis ...
Classical opsonins are serum proteins that coat microorganisms and particles so as to enhance uptake by macrophages. A recent Nature paper has identified a macrophage-derived opsonin for apoptotic ...
