What is The binding of complement proteins to certain sugars or proteins on a foreign Cell's surface?

Opsonization is the process where complement proteins bind to sugars or proteins on a foreign cell's surface, which marks the cell for destruction by phagocytic cells like macrophages and neutrophils. This process enhances the immune response against the foreign cell, helping to eliminate it from the body.


How Do antibodies kill microbes inside the human body?

Antibodies help kill microbes by binding to them and marking them for destruction by immune cells. This process can trigger the complement system, causing the target microbe to be killed directly, or lead to phagocytosis where immune cells engulf and digest the microbe. Antibodies can also neutralize microbes by blocking their ability to infect cells or produce toxins.
