• phagocytosis
  23 April 2004

  WKP
  Definition: Phagocytosis is a specific form of endocytosis involving the vesicular internalization of solid particles, such as bacteria. It is therefore distinct from other forms of endocytosis such as pinocytosis, the vesicular internalization of various liquids, and recptor-dependent endocytosis.
  Phagocytosis involves three distinct but interrelated steps:
  (1) recognition and attachment of the particle to be ingested by the leukocyte;
  (2) its engulfment, with subsequent (...)
