- Pathology also refers to a class of proteins that enhance the phagocytosis of phagocytic cells.
- All immune-active molecules that have a conditioning effect are called opsonins. The so-called conditioning effect refers to the binding of antibodies, complements and antigens to form a complex, which can bind to the Fc receptor and C3b receptor on the surface of phagocytic cells through the Fc segment and C3b, thereby fixing on the surface of phagocytic cells, which is conducive to phagocytic cells' antibody to antigen / Complement complex phagocytosis and clearance. If the antigen is a bacterium, it helps the phagocytic cells to phagocytose and kill the bacteria. This promotion of phagocytosis by antibodies and complement is called opsonization. Antibodies and complement are the main opsonins in the body.
