GARY CARLSON ILLUSTRATION
With long pseudopodia this immune cell captures and engulfs bacteria
Pro-angiogenic pathways are disrupted causing abnormal vasculature
The presence of bacteria generates an immune response
Activated immune cells respond to tissue damage
A tumor vascularized with leaky lymph vessels
Neoplasm with eroded adjacent tissue
Actively migrate to areas of bacterial infection
Immunocytes seek and destroy bacilli bacteria
Neutrophils migrate from blood vessels to attack and engulf cocci bacterial pathogens
lymphocytes migrate from blood vessels in response to invasive pathogens
