PMN (polymorphonuclear neutrophils)
a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system's defense against infections.
These cells are the first responders to sites of infection or injury, and they act by engulfing
(phagocytosing) and destroying pathogens, such as bacteria.
opsonization
weakening of a cellular wall/membrane so WBCs or antimicrobials can enter. Pathogens are marked
or tagged for destruction. Without opsonization, the immune system would not be able to eliminate
pathogens or foreign substances that enter the body. Opsonins coat microbes, making them easier
for phagocytes (e.g., neutrophils, macrophages) to recognize and ingest. "Makes the bug tasty" for
immune cells.
