Elevated levels of C-reactive protein and pig major acute phase protein in lame gestating sows [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionLameness is a common clinical issue in gestating sows and a leading cause for early culling and antibiotic treatment. Diagnostic tools are limited, but acute acute phase proteins (APPs) could offer a fast and minimally invasive method for ...

Tracking acute phase protein response during acute and chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection [PDF]
Laboratory Animal Research, 2019 Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, which occurs worldwide in mammals and birds. Brain is the primary target organ because Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous intracellular parasite that causes most frequently life ...

Integrated dataset on acute phase protein response in chicken challenged with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide endotoxin. [PDF]
Data Brief, 2018 Data herein describe the quantitative changes in the plasma proteome in chickens challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin known to stimulate the host innate immune system obtained by shotgun quantitative proteomic tandem mass tags ...

Pig α1-acid glycoprotein: characterization and first description in any species as a negative acute phase protein. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The serum protein α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), also known as orosomucoid, is generally described as an archetypical positive acute phase protein. Here, porcine AGP was identified, purified and characterized from pooled pig serum. It was found to circulate

A comparative study of acute-phase protein concentrations in historical and modern broiler breeding lines. [PDF]
Poult Sci, 2018 Acute-phase proteins (APP) are secreted from the liver as a result of inflammation or infection and are measurable in serum and plasma. To determine whether the constitutive APP serum amyloid A (SAA), alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), ceruloplasmin (Cp ...

Acute Phase Protein Levels as An Auxiliary Tool in Diagnosing Viral Diseases in Ruminants—A Review [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 We examined acute phase protein (APP) concentrations in viral infections of dairy ruminants and assessed the potential role of characteristic patterns of APP changes in auxiliary diagnosing viral diseases.

Serum amyloid A in cats with renal azotemia [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2023 Background and Aim: The concentration of the feline acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) increases in cats with acute inflammatory diseases. However, it is unclear whether SAA concentration increases in cats with azotemic kidney disease or whether ...

Breakdown of supersaturation barrier links protein folding to amyloid formation
Communications Biology, 2021 Noji et al. test link between protein folding and misfolding upon heating and agitation. They show that folding and amyloid formation are separated by the supersaturation barrier of a protein, breakdown of which shifts the protein to the amyloid pathway.
