Opsonins are
extracellular proteins that, when
bound to
substances or cells,
induce phagocytes to
phagocytose the
substances or
cells with the opsonins...

- In cell biology, a
phagosome is a
vesicle formed around a
particle engulfed by a
phagocyte via phagocytosis.
Professional phagocytes include macrophages...
