| 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. |
| Beyond this phagocytic action, they do not appear to play any direct part in the reparative process. |
| Interestingly, serum enhanced the phagocytic ability of acanthamoebae, as measured by bacterial uptake. |
| Products of complement activation cause smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability and induce degranulation of phagocytic cells, mast cells, and basophils. |
| The pocket usually contains a collection of pus, dead phagocytic white blood cells, necrotic cells, and live or dead bacteria. |
