Medical Definition of Zippering

1. Process suggested to occur in phagocytosis in which the membrane of the phagocyte covers the particle by a progressive adhesive interaction. The evidence for such a mechanism comes from experiments in which capped B-cells are only partially internalised, whereas those with a uniform opsonising coat of antiIgG are fully engulfed.
