What is the role of IL-10 in the inflammatory response?
A. Limiting the duration of inflammation by suppressing inflammatory actions
B. Secreting chemotactic factors to ensure inflammatory responses are confined only to areas of invasion or tissue damage.
C. Stimulating the liver to produce fibrinogen, allowing areas of inflammation to be "walled off," so that a local infection does not lead to sepsis
D. Triggering inflammatory responses to convert to more specific immune responses, such as antibody production and activation
A
Although many interleukins are "proinflammatory" and either stimulate inflammatory responses or enhance inflammatory responses, IL-10 is suppressive in nature and attempts to limit or control inflammation.
