title: [Current theories of phagocytosis and methodological problems in the study of phagocytosis defects in diabetics].
abstract: The process of phagocytosis on bacteria is described: recognition of the bacterium by C3b- and Fc-receptors and possibly lektin-like substances on PMN surfaces; ingestion by an actin-myosin interaction in a local Ca++ gradient; simultaneous activation of a NADPH-oxidase and oxidative attack of the bacterial membrane. Special aspects: opsonization, dependence of the rate of phagocytosis on day-time, conditions of diabetics.
