Which of the Following are Molecular Mediators of Inflammation

Question

Which of the following are molecular mediators of inflammation?
A) immunoglobulins
B) lipopolysaccharide
C) erythrocytes
D) both chemokines and cytokines

Accepted Answer

Chemokines and cytokines are both molecular mediators of inflammation. Immunoglobulins are antibodies and do play a role in immune responses but are not specifically involved in inflammation. Lipopolysaccharide is a part of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and can trigger inflammation, but it is not a molecular mediator itself. Erythrocytes are red blood cells and do not play a direct role in inflammation.
