Phagocytosis-coupled Activation of Pattern Recognition Receptors
Phagocytosis forms the platform for activation of distinct members of the Toll-like receptor family
Larger particles (500-2000 nm) require phagocytosis and transport by DC.
Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells also results in efficient MHC class I–restricted antigen presentation in macrophages and/or DCs
