1

Chemotaxis

release of bacterial byproducts attract phagocytes which extend pseudopods to catch the pathogen

New cards
2

Adhesion

pseudopods attach to PAMP

New cards
3

Ingestion

pseudopods retract and uptake pathogen; plasma membrane surrounds pathogen in an internalized vacuole is called a phagosome

New cards
4

Maturation

phagosome matures while trafficking through the cell and fuses with lysosomes into a phagolysosome

New cards
5

Lysis

lysosomes kill the pathogen with degradative enzymes including lysozyme, hydrolases, reactive oxygen metabolites (H2O2), nitric oxide, and superoxide anions

New cards
6

Elimination

phagolysosome fuses with the plasma membrane, releases debris and displays pathogens’ feature on their surface (important for activation of the adaptive immune system)

New cards
7

Phagocytosis

capturing, engulfing and digesting of foreign particles by phagocytes (e.g. macrophage, dendritic cells, neutrophil)
