Damaged interstitial tissue and bacteria ( ) release chemo-attractants ( ) . Leukocytes respond by positive chemotaxis (1), followed by margination (2), and diaped-esis (3). Once within interstitium, leukocytes continue positive chemotaxis (4) and begin phagocytosis (5).

Phagocytosis results in the fusion of pseudopods (6). The resul-tant phagosome is a phospholipid bilayer sac containing bacteria. The Phagosome migrates within the leukocyte and fuses with lysosomes (8, 9) resulting in a phagolysosome (10). Digestive enzymes
(such as lysozyme) digest bacteria (11), and this vesicle may now be considered a residual body. Elimi-nation by exocytosis (12) of debris con-cludes the process.
Leukocyte ActivityLeukocytes move by chemotaxis. Cell surface receptors ( ) may bind to a chemo-attractant ( ). When the complex forms ( ), the cell responds my moving. If the leukocyte moves towards the source of the chemo-attractant, the term positive chemotaxis is used. Negative chemotaxis would be moving aware from the chemical.

TRA Genes
G1G2
PlasmidPlasmids and PiliTRA genes (or transfer genes, transfer operon, etc.) code for necessary compounds for plasmid transfer from the F+ to the F- cell; as well as for the maintenance of the plasmid within a host cell.
All plasmids will, of necessity, have the TRA genes. Other genes may also be present that may or may not provide auxiliary functions for the cell, or substances toxic the bacte-ria host.
Because of their ability to transfer genetic material, they are particular interest and utility to the genetic engineer. Plas-mids are used to transfer DNA from one bacteria to another for genetic engineering purposes.
