Can Opsonization Be Targeted for Therapeutic Purposes?
Indeed, opsonization can be targeted for therapeutic purposes. By enhancing opsonization, it is possible to boost the immune system's ability to clear toxic particles. This can be achieved through the use of vaccines that elicit antibody production or through therapies that increase the activity of complement proteins. These strategies are particularly relevant in cases of biotoxin exposure or in the treatment of certain infections where toxin release is a major concern.
