Opsonisation /opsonines

opsonisation is the operation during which substances which are foreign to the body (antigens) are recognised by the immunological system and identified as needing to be destroyed. Opsonines are antibodies or other proteins which bind to unknown antigens to 'mark' them and encourage phagocytosis.
