Immune Cell Phagocytosis

Molecular classification: Biological Process, Cellular Process

Overview

Immune cell phagocytosis is a fundamental biological process in which specialized immune cells, known as phagocytes (such as macrophages and neutrophils), engulf and digest large particles including pathogens, dead cells, and cellular debris. This process is essential for innate immunity, tissue homeostasis, and the initiation of adaptive immune responses.
