QUESTION

Source of cytokines?

OPTIONS

(A) Neutrophil
(B) Mast cell
(C) Plasma
(D) Peptides

ANSWER

(B) Mast cell

EXPLANATION

Mast cells are an important source of cytokines as well as histamine and other inflammatory mediators. Hence option B is correct; neutrophils can also produce cytokines, but plasma is not a cellular source and peptides are a broad chemical category rather than a cytokine-producing cell.
