JCS02876 Supplementary Material

Files in this Data Supplement:

• Movie 1 -

  Movie 1. Animation of a simulation of phagocytosis with the optimal model and parameters (4.6 μm diameter bead, same as in Fig. 3. The color inside the simulated cell indicates the percent cytoskeletal volume fraction (% network). The white patch of membrane corresponds to the region of enhanced polymerizing messenger emissivity.

• Movie 2 -

  Movie 2. Time-lapse sequence of the phagocytosis of an antibody-coated 4.6 μm bead by a neutrophils (1 second interval/frame).  The time and pipette aspiration pressure (in cm H₂O) are indicated at the upper left. The pipette holding the neutrophil has a 2.9 μm diameter.
