It is an integral part of innate and adaptive immunity. It is the important process in host defense by which particles or complexes are made readily ingestible for uptake by phagocytic cells. What are Opsonins? Specific serum proteins, known as opsonins, coat particles and cause the particles to bind avidly to phagocytes and trigger ingestion. In other words, the opsonins act as markers or tags that allow recognition by the immune system of the body. For each type of opsonin there is an opsonin-specific membrane receptor on phagocytes responsible for binding particles coated with that opsonin. Opsonization Mechanism The purpose of opsonization is to make the antigens “palatable” to the antibody or the phagocytic cells. The antigen: antibody complex is eventually scavenged and degraded by macrophages. Antibodies coating an antigen render it recognizable as foreign by phagocytes (macrophages and neutrophils). Opsonization Complements The complement components known to be involved in opsonization are: ✔️ C1q complement ✔️ C4b complement ✔️ C3b complement ✔️ iC3b complement ✔️ C3dg complement ✔️ C3d complement Bound C3-derived fragments are the most important opsonins generated upon complement activation by either the classical or the alternative pathway. --- 🎬 1500+ Medical Video Lectures ----------- Medical Students Online education 24/7/365.
