The process whereby phagocytes engulf external particulate material. The particles are initially contained within phagocytic vacuoles (phagosomes), which then fuse with primary lysosomes to effect digestion of the particles. Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat. Any process of the immune system that occurs as part of an immune response. Phagocytosis occurring as the result of a ligand binding an immune response cell surface activating receptor. Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats. A type of vesicle-mediated transport in which cells take up external materials or membrane constituents by the invagination of small region of the plasma membrane to form a new membrane-bounded vesicle.
