Immune defence of mammals against bacterial pathogens - Phagocytic defenses

3 important questions on Immune defence of mammals against bacterial pathogens - Phagocytic defenses

Sequence of  phagocytosis events

1. Delivery of PC's to site of infection
2. Phagocytic adherence to the target
3. Ingestion of particle
4. Phagolysozome formation
5. Intracellular killing
6. Intracellular digestion

Chemokines and interleukins (IL)

Cell signalling molecules made by immune cells such as IL-8 and CCL20

Two methods that neutrophils use to kill invading pathogens

1. Engulfment of microbes
2. Secretion of antimicrobial peptides (disarming pathogens)

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
