Phagosome proteomes open the way to a better understanding of phagosome function.

Cell Biology Program, EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany. gareth.griffiths@embl-heidelberg.de

Phagocytic cells take up microbes and other particles into membrane-bounded organelles called phagosomes. Studies on the protein and lipid composition of model phagosomes containing latex beads are the first step in a systems-biology approach to understanding how these organelles function.
