Opsonins immunoglobulins receptors

Figure 1.4. Recognition of bacteria by neutrophils. Invading bacteria are opsonised by serum proteins, such as complement fragments (e.g. C3b) and immunoglobulins. The plasma membranes of neutrophils possess receptors for these opsonins (e.g. Fc receptors and complement receptors). Thus, occupancy of these opsonin receptors triggers phagocytosis and activates events such as the respiratory burst and degranulation. Note that the receptors and opsonins are not drawn to scale.
