Question

With reference to antibodies, opsonisation means ____________.

Options

• Releasing Lymphokines and Perforins

• Engulfing invading pathogens

• Neutralizing toxins released by bacteria

• Coating of bacteria for subsequent phagocytosis

Answer 1

With reference to antibodies, opsonisation means Coating of bacteria for subsequent phagocytosis.

Explanation:

As a result of the immune response, lymphocytes create antibodies. They use opsonisation, or the coating of bacteria for phagocytosis, to kill antigens or pathogens. Lymphocytes are responsible for the release of perforins and lymphokines. Toxins secreted by bacteria are neutralised by lgG.
