Abstract

Phagocytosis is an important factor in the defense of the host against all kinds of microorganisms. The process of phagocytosis of microorganisms by phagocytes can be separated into distinct but interrelated phases: adherence, chemotaxis, opsonization, attachment, ingestion, degranulation and killing. Phagocytosis is accompanied by an increase in oxygen metabolism in which H₂O₂ and activated oxygen species are generated. Modulation of phagocytic cell function can be brought about by a variety of substances. Microorganisms produce and contain components which influence the process of phagocytosis. Surrounding tissue cells and the phagocytes themselves produce biologically active molecules that modulate phagocytosis.
