Which process involves antibodies coating microorganisms in order to facilitate phagocytosis?
A. Agglutination
B. Complement fixation
C. Opsonization
D. Anamnestic response
Answer (2)
Opsonization is the process where antibodies coat microorganisms to aid in their recognition and destruction by phagocytes during the immune response. This enhances the efficiency of phagocytosis, making the immune system more effective against pathogens. Understanding this process is essential in studying how our body defends against infections. ;
The correct answer is C. Opsonization, which involves antibodies coating microorganisms to enhance their recognition and elimination by phagocytes, thus improving the body's immune response. This process is vital for effective phagocytosis of pathogens.
