What is the protein containing fluid within the lymphatic vessels?
A
Platelets
B
blood
C
lymph
D
Peyer’s Patch
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although plasma albumin and serum globulins constitute the majority of the lymph proteins, tissue-specific proteins are also highly represented in the lymph proteome when compared to the plasma proteome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is a small inducible cytokine called CCL2 recruiting monocytes, T lymphocytes, dendritic cells to the sites of inflammation produced by either tissue injury or infection. It is produced by the lymphatic endothelial cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -This relationship was found to be linear, making it possible to quantify the protein content of both interstitial fluid and lymph samples. The interstitial fluid/plasma concentration ratios for albumin, transferrin, globulins and total proteins were 0.42, 0.42, 0.32 and 0.37.
