Exudate is a fluid that accumulates in inflamed tissues in response to infection or injury. Its functions include diluting toxins and bringing immune cells and plasma proteins to the site of infection or injury. However, exudate does not have the function of destroying infected host cells. That is the role of immune cells such as natural killer cells or cytotoxic T cells.
