Upon engulfment of a pathogen macrophages will destroy the pathogen in the phagolysosome. This is accomplished through a variety of enzymes as well as the use of reactive oxygen species (free radicals), which are used to produce bleach. Macrophages can then break down the proteins of the pathogen and present them as antigens to T cells, although dendritic cells are much better at this last part.

How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
What are macrophages specialized for?
macrophages can be considered one of the many "defenses" that work to help protect our immune system. they do have a special role. they engage in phagocytosis which is the process in which a macrophage engulfs cellular debris or dead cellular material and pathogens. the material goes into the internal part of the macrophage (vacuole) it then travel to the lysosomes where the waste is broken down and it then the reduced material is released extracellularly or intracellulary. in the case of a pathogen a macrophage will present an antigen for the particular pathogen in order for the immune system to identify it. each antigen has a specific helper T cell for each pathogen.

What role does the macrophage play in?
presents antigens of an engulfed pathogen in its class II MHC molecules to helper T cells, and releases IL-1
The process by which a white blood cell ingests a disease causing organism?
The process by which a white blood cell ingests a disease-causing organism is called phagocytosis. The white blood cell engulfs the pathogen using its cell membrane, forming a vesicle called a phagosome. The phagosome then fuses with a lysosome to form a phagolysosome, where the pathogen is destroyed.

What term means a white blood cell that surrounds and kills invading cells?
A macrophage is the type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills invading cells.
How do you use macrophage in a sentence?
The macrophage is a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off infections.
Is macrophage a chromosomes?
A macrophage is a type of white blood cell; it is not a chromosome.
