phagocytosis

Preposition: of

• cell: Examples of such regulation are exerted by our novel findings showing glucocorticoids augments phagocytosis whereas elevation of cAMP suppresses phagocytosis of apoptotic cells.
• bacterium: The amoeboid ( trophozoite ) stage is 10 to 15 µm in diameter and feeds by phagocytosis of bacteria and divides by binary fission.

Converse of object

• promote: Complement factor is released encouraging polymorphonuclear leukocyte release from bone marrow promoting phagocytosis, which produces heat.
• enhance: Siberian ginseng has also been shown to suppress cancer cells by enhancing phagocytosis and production of leukocytes.
• involve: Killing of micro-organisms by macrophages involves phagocytosis of the organism, followed by the production of oxygen radicals which then kill the phagocytosed organisms.
• mediate: Involvement of the Arp2/3 complex in phagocytosis mediated by Fc g R or CR3.
• aid: A diet containing protein which aids phagocytosis, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis and wound remodeling.
• induce: Figure 5. Salmonella produces Actin Binding Proteins to Induce Phagocytosis.

Preposition: by

macrophage: In order to promote their phagocytosis by macrophages, apoptotic cells often undergo plasma membrane changes that trigger the macrophage response.
