B, C, E
Exudate formation at the inflammatory site has three functions: dilute toxins produced, deliver proteins and leukocytes to the site, and carry away toxins and debris. Once phagocytes have been attracted to an area by the release of mediators, a process called opsonization occurs, in which antibody and complement proteins attach to the target cell and enhance the phagocyte's ability to engulf the target cell.
