Phagocytosis of viruses
Can phagocytes engulf viruses and destroy them? If they can, why doesn’t Wikipedia mention this?
I have looked through all Wikipedia’s articles on phagocytes, phagocytosis, viruses, viral disease, innate immune system, immune response and many other pages, but nowhere do I find any mention of any phagocytes engulfing viruses.
The closest thing to phagocytes engulfing viruses was in the antigen presentation article and even there the article makes it sound as if it is a function of infected cells rather than professional antigen presentation cells. 197.229.6.214 (talk) 05:17, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
