Two distinct receptors mediate nonopsonic phagocytosis of different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Complement receptor 3 (CR3) mediates both opsonic and nonopsonic phagocytosis of bacteria. Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) allows for the study of CR3-dependent phagocyte-bacterial ingestion, since LAD phagocytes do not express this receptor. Phagocytes from an infant with LAD were unable to ing...
