in contrast , although these immune complexes also markedly decreased the phagocytosis of antibody-coated yeast cells , they did not significantly impair the antibody-independent ingestion of unopsonized yeast cells by macrophages . the suppressive effects of immune complexes on alveolar macrophages may , in part , explain the phagocytic dysfunction that occurs 7 to 10 days after influenza virus pneumonia .
