An in vitro model mimicking the complement system to favor directed phagocytosis of unwanted cells

An in vitro model mimicking the complement system to favor directed phagocytosis of unwanted cells

Background: Opsonization, is the molecular mechanism by which target molecules promote interactions with phagocyte cell surface receptors to remove unwanted cells by induced phagocytosis. We designed an in vitro system to demonstrate that this procedure could be driven to eliminate adipocytes, using...
