Term for the coating of a microbial surface by PRRs,complement,and/or antibodies for the enhancement of phagocytosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opsonization is the process by which molecules such as PRRs, complement proteins, and antibodies coat the surface of a pathogen, marking it for phagocytosis by immune cells. This makes it easier for phagocytes such as macrophages and neutrophils to recognize, engulf, and destroy the pathogen.
