Descriptor encapuchamiento inmunológico
Entry term(s) capping inmunitario
recubrimiento inmunológico
Scope note: Proceso dependiente de energía que se produce tras la unión de RECEPTORES ANTIGÉNICOS DE CÉLULAS B a ligandos multivalentes (anticuerpos bivalentes, LECTINAS o ANTÍGENOS), en la superficie de las células B. Los complejos ligando-receptor antigénico se acumulan formando placas que fluyen y se agregan en uno de los polos celulares formando grandes masas –el capuchón o “cap”. Posteriormente el capuchón puede experimentar endocitosis o ser eliminado al medio.

Scope note: An energy dependent process following the crosslinking of B CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS by multivalent ligands (bivalent anti-antibodies, LECTINS or ANTIGENS), on the B-cell surface. The crosslinked ligand-antigen receptor complexes collect in patches which flow to and aggregate at one pole of the cell to form a large mass - the cap. The caps may then be endocytosed or shed into the environment.
Annotation: may appear in the literature as "capping of lymphocytes" or "leukocyte capping"; do not confuse with RECEPTOR CAPPING
