Detailed explanation-1: -The fluid contained within lymphatic vessels is called lymph (lympha means “clear water"), a watery fluid that contains lymphocytes and other types of white blood cells, as well as proteins and lipids.
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: -Lymph fluid. This is a colourless fluid that is made in the body. It surrounds all body tissues. Extra fluid from tissue in the body drains into and flows through small lymph vessels. This fluid is filtered through the lymph nodes, and drains back into the bloodstream.
