| Abstract | Every day, the human body generates waste such as damaged cells and cellular debris. The body is also challenged by invading germs from outside. Phagocytosis is an essential immune function where specialized cells (phagocytes) serve as scavengers, swallowing and clearing cellular waste and foreign invaders. The ability to measure phagocytic activity is important for understanding immune function and disease. Common laboratory and clinical methods to measure phagocytosis often rely on fluorescent |
