Leur activité principale est l'"opsonisation", tout comme d’ailleurs le complément : en se déposant sur les germes, ces deux types de molécules permettent aux polynucléaires et aux macrophages qui possèdent des récepteurs pour les anticorps et le complément, de phagocyter plus aisément les bactéries. 1, record 1, French, - anticorps%20naturel
