| Contrary to received wisdom, these two operations proceed in the same cellular compartment: the phagosome. |
| The process of phagocytosis continues until the bacterium is completely internalized, surrounded by membrane in the phagosome. |
| Phagosome isolation by detergent free method was used to study role of Lyn in phagocytosis. |
| Promastigotes attach to mononuclear phagocytes and are taken up by phagocytosis into a phagosome, which fuse with lysosomes to form the phagolysosome. |
| The engulfed object is thus enclosed within a membrane-bound vacuole called a phagosome. |
| Intracellular bacteria are subjected to several bacteriocidal mechanisms in the macrophages such as free oxygen radicals and phagosome lysosomal activity. |
