Summary
| Description |
English:
1) Antibodies (A) and pathogens (B) free roam in the blood. 2) The antibodies bind to pathogens, and can do so in different formations such as: opsonization (2a), neutralisation (2b), and agglutination (2c). 3) A phagocyte (C) approaches the pathogen, and the Fc region (D) of the antibody binds to one of the Fc receptors (E) of the phagocyte. 4) Phagocytosis occurs as the pathogen is ingested.
Español:
1) Los anticuerpos (A) y los patógenos (B) vagan libremente por la sangre. 2) Los anticuerpos se unen a los patógenos y pueden hacerlo mediante diferentes formaciones tales como: opsonización (2a), neutralización (2b), y aglutinación (2c). 3) Un fagocito (C) se aproxima al patógeno y la región Fc (D) del anticuerpo se une a uno de los receptores Fc (E) del fagocito. 4) Por último, tiene lugar la fagocitosis a medida que se ingiere el patógeno.
