Final answer:
The action that is NOT associated with interleukins released by phagocytic cells is acting as opsonins to facilitate phagocytosis. Interleukins are involved in inflammation, immunity, and cell differentiation, but do not act as opsonins.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to the actions of interleukins released by phagocytic cells. Interleukins are cytokine signaling molecules that have several functions in the immune system such as promoting inflammation, stimulating cell differentiation, and aiding in the immune response. They are not involved in acting as opsonins, which are molecules that bind to the surface of pathogens and enhance their phagocytosis by phagocytic cells such as macrophages and neutrophils. Instead, opsonins include components of the complement system or antibodies, not interleukins.
Therefore, the action that is NOT associated with interleukins released by phagocytic cells is E) acting as opsonins to facilitate phagocytosis. The other options (A, B, C, and D) are indeed functions related to interleukins involving the increase of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells, stimulation of the release of neutrophils from the bone marrow, acting as endogenous pyrogens to raise body temperature, and stimulating the production of acute phase proteins from the liver.
