Macrpphage is the process where Phagocytec, a form of White Blood Cell seek out and engulf or destroy invading or foreign entities, cells, infection and abnormal products within the body. Jeffrey J. Vrtis, RN BSN. ---- This process is referred to as phagocytosis. There are numerous cells in the body that utilize phagocytosis. The most commonly thought of are the macrophage, which is a part of the cellular immunity of the body. The engulfed cellular components are broken down in lysozomes to their most basic parts and destroyed.

What does Macrophage act as?
Macrophages act as phagocytes (engulfing antigens) and digest them for specific defense of immune system to detect. They are non-specific, therefore, they just digest and excrete antigens.

How do white blood cells know what to attack?
All cells carry unique proteins on their cell membranes. These are called antigens, and when white blood cells come across an unfamiliar antigen, they will treat the cell (or bacterium) as hostile, and treat it as such by releasing antibodies, or by engulfing the cell.
Does Type B blood have A antigens?
No, type B blood does not have A antigens. Type B blood has B antigens.
When was Tissue Antigens created?

What are antigens determining blood type carried on?
Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
