Its macrophages are designed to spot any intruding molecules in the blood and destroy them in a process called
phagocytosis.
Bu makrofajlar, kan içinde herhangi bir izinsiz molekülleri saptamak ve fagositozu olarak adlandırılan bir işlem bunları yok etmek için tasarlanmıştır.

phagocytosis was reinforced by specific antibodies that he called opsonin s, from the Greek opson

phagocytosis is specific in the substances it transports.
