Acute phase proteins in ruminants

Journal of Proteomics, 2012
The physiological response to infections and injuries involves local inflammation and the initiation of events leading to a systemic response, also called acute phase reaction (APR). This multiplicity of changes is distant from the site of injury, and includes fever, leukocytosis and quantitative and qualitative modification of a group of non ...

Effects of vaccination on the acute-phase protein response and measures of performance in growing beef calves.

Journal of Animal Science, 2013
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of vaccination on the acute-phase protein (APP) reaction (Exp. 1 and 2) and measures of performance (Exp. 2) in growing beef calves. In Exp.

Acute-phase proteins and other systemic responses to inflammation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
A large number of changes, distant from the site or sites of inflammation and involving many organ systems, may accompany inflammation. In 1930 interest was focused on these changes by the discovery of C-reactive protein (so named because it reacted with

Acute-Phase Proteins in Alzheimer’s Disease

European Neurology, 1988
The main 'acute-phase proteins' were determined in serum of 20 patients with presenile Alzheimer's disease (AD) and compared with values in 18 age-matched healthy control subjects. Following parameters were evaluated: alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha AT), haptoglobin (HPT), transferrin (TRF), acidic alpha 1-glycoprotein (A alpha G), ceruloplasmin (CER ...

Effect of photodynamic therapy, diode laser, and deep scaling on cytokine and acute-phase protein levels in gingival crevicular fluid of residual periodontal pockets.

The Journal of Periodontology, 2012
BACKGROUND There is an ongoing controversy on the benefits of treatment protocols, including dental lasers and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The purpose of this study is to compare the local biologic effects of PDT, diode soft laser (DSL) therapy, and ...

Angiotensinogen is an acute-phase protein in man

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1987
Accumulating information concerning the structure of angiotensinogen suggests a resemblance of this component of the renin-angiotensin system to the acute-phase protein alpha 1-antitrypsin. Compared to a group of age- and sex-matched controls without signs of infection, markedly elevated levels of angiotensinogen (increase in median value: 70%), alpha ...

Acute phase proteins in salmonids: evolutionary analyses and acute phase response.

The Journal of Immunology, 1997
Abstract Inflammation induces dramatic changes in the biosynthetic profile of the liver, leading to increased serum concentrations of positive acute phase (AP) proteins and decreased concentrations of negative AP proteins. Serum amyloid A (SAA) and the pentraxins C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP) are major AP ...

Acute Phase Proteins

1980
Many diseases demonstrate an inflammatory process which involves plasma proteins termed acute phase proteins. Fluctuations in serum levels of these proteins are now being utilised to assess diseases which involve inflammation and tissue damage. They are a useful indicator in detection, diagnosis and treatment of such diseases.

Haematological, biochemical and selected acute phase protein reference intervals for weaned female Merino lambs.

Australian Veterinary Journal, 2009
BACKGROUND Merino lambs are currently the subject of much research into the welfare aspects of mulesing and mulesing alternatives. OBJECTIVE Obtain haematology, biochemistry and acute phase protein reference intervals using modern methodologies for ...

Acute phase proteins and pesticide exposure

Life Sciences, 1976
Abstract Gamma mobility C-reactive protein (CRP) level was determined in the sera of persons occupationally exposed to pesticides and controls in conjunction with serum protein analysis and other biochemical and enzymologic tests. Workers chronically exposed to dieldrin and pentachlorophenol showed significantly higher prevalence of CRP than the ...
