Enhanced Phagocytosis of Antibody-Sensitized Cells is Known As

Question

Enhanced phagocytosis of antibody-sensitized cells is known as
A) complementation.
B) immunization.
C) opsonization.
D) tolerance.

Accepted Answer

Enhanced phagocytosis of antibody-sensitized cells is known as opsonization. This process helps to target invading pathogens for phagocytosis and improves the efficiency of the immune response. Complementation refers to the biochemical cascade that leads to the formation of membrane attack complexes to destroy pathogens. Immunization refers to the process of becoming immune to a specific pathogen through vaccination or exposure. Tolerance refers to the immune system's ability to recognize self from non-self and not respond to self-antigens.
