| Antibodies bind to and neutralize pathogens or prepare them for uptake and destruction by phagocytic cells. |
| In general, chemotactic and phagocytic responses are significantly reduced. |
| These lipid-laden phagocytic cells tend to deposit within the skin and tendons, leading to xanthomas. |
| In incipient cases the tubercles might be as readily absorbed as catgut ligature, and the germs, if any, fall to phagocytic prey. |
| There are two groups of phagocytic cells, white blood cells polymorphonuclear leukocytes and tissue cells. |
| Interestingly, serum enhanced the phagocytic ability of acanthamoebae, as measured by bacterial uptake. |
