Accumulation of calreticulin, annexine, and LDL on the exterior of cells is a precursor to this process' occurrence.
Accumulation of calreticulin, annexine, and LDL on the exterior of cells is a precursor to this process' occurrence. This mechanism is promoted by C3b activity, and pathogen-assisted molecular patterns along with toll-like receptors act as initial activators of this. Processes that occur after this happens in cells can either involve oxygen derivatives and the production of hypochlorite, or instead use defensins and other antimicrobial peptides. Apoptosis sometimes precedes this process in an efferogenic manner, whereby macrophages are activated by molecules on the membranes of dying cells. Often associated with the feeding of protists, this cellular mechanism involves microfilament condensation and expansion of the cell membrane. For 10 points, name this form of endocytosis whereby a cell engulfs solid particles to ingest nutrients or pathogens.
