Procedures to Measure Dictyostelium Phagocytosis and Macropinocytosis
摘要
Uptaking particulate objects and bulk liquid by eucaryotic cells is critical for their growth, survival, and defense. Dictyostelium is a model organism spearheaded to uncover mechanisms behind various types of uptaking activities. Here, we describe assays measuring phagocytosis and macropinocytosis using Dictyostelium discoideum.
