A Theoretical Model for Phagocytic Capacity of Phagocytes

Abstract: This work seeks to establish a theoretical model that links phagocytic capacity of phagocytes with geometries of phagocytes and phagocytic objects. The model is applied to four different types of phagocytic objects: a flat surface, a microsphere, a microdisk, and a population of microspheres. For the flat surface, the model assumes that a phagocyte maximizes its contact area between the flat surface and minimizes its non‐contact surface area under a constraint exerted by the volume of the phagocyte's cellular … Show more
