[ad. F. rhophéocytose (Policard & Bessis 1958, in Compt. Rend. CCXLVI. 3196), f. Gr. ῥοϕεῖν to gulp down: cf. phagocytosis and pinocytosis.]
The process whereby a cell absorbs material into small vacuoles without first sending out projections.
1962Blood XIX. 645 The cell does not extend any veils as is characteristic of micropinocytosis, but appears to ‘aspirate’ the external material. This process, therefore, appeared to deserve a special designation, and coined [sic] for it the term ‘rhopheocytosis’. 1964D. W. Allen in Bishop & Surgenor Red Blood Cell viii. 324 The authors assume that the ferritin is transferred from reticulum cell to erythroblast by a form of micropinocytosis which the authors call ‘rhopheocytosis’. 1974Nature 15 Feb. 462/1 A dense and continuous dark labelling was seen in contact with the membrane of all normoblasts, surrounding the whole perimeter of the cell, including rhopheocytosis invaginations. |
