Neutrophils can phagocytose large cells. (Top) A neutrophil (marked with a white arrow) that has taken up several RFP-expressing white cells but does not phagocytose opaque cells despite close physical contact; (middle) the same neutrophil attacking a white cell with a large germ tube, which is followed by phagocytosis of the complete cell (bottom). Strain WOP4G42WH11R22A was used for this experiment. For more details, see Video S3 in the supplemental material, from which the pictures were taken at the indicated time points. Bars, 20 μm.
