Acute phase reactant proteins.

Immunology series, 1990
This chapter focuses on the nonspecific changes in plasma protein profiles that accompany the acute-phase response (APR) and the role of acute-phase reactant proteins as tumor markers in cancer. Serum amyloid A (SAA) was first found in serum because it cross-reacted immunologically with antiserum raised against amyloid A protein purified from amyloid ...

International Standardization of Acute Phase Proteins

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2001
Abstract:Acute phase proteins (APPs) such as haptoglobin, serum amyloid A and pig major acute phase protein are plasma proteins that increase in concentration following infection, inflammation, or trauma. The circulating concentrations of these proteins in pigs and cattle can provide an objective measure of the health status of an animal and are ...

Acute‐phase proteins in perinatal human plasma

ELECTROPHORESIS, 1997
AbstractPlasma from eight newborns (4 pre‐term and 4 full‐term) with early‐onset (<72 h) sepsis and six apparently healthy controls was analyzed. The presence of spots identified as haptoglobin and serum amyloid A protein was the electrophoretic result most consistently associated with disease. Time course monitoring showed rises, peaks and declines

Monitoring health by values of acute phase proteins

Acta Histochemica, 2006
A systemic acute phase reaction may develop during infection and inflammation, due to the action of peripherally liberated proinflammatory cytokines. Hepatic metabolism changes, and negative and positive acute phase proteins (APPs) can be measured in the blood: the APPs therefore represent appropriate analytes to assess health.

Acute Phase Reactant Proteins in Cancer

1979
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the role of acute phase reactant proteins (APRPs) in various cancers— namely, prostate, breast, gastrointestinal tracts, bladder, gynecological, lung, and liver cancers. APRPs are mainly glycoproteins that alter their plasma concentration in response to stimuli produced by many forms of tissue injury, acute ...

Acute phase proteins in the monitoring of inflammatory disorders

Baillière's Clinical Rheumatology, 1994
The acute phase reaction is in most circumstances a good indicator of (local) inflammatory activity and tissue damage. CRP is a direct and quantitative measure for the acute phase reaction and due to its fast kinetics provides adequate information of the actual situation.

The acute phase plasma proteins

1976
During the last four years increasing attention has been given to those plasma proteins which increase or decrease in concentration after trauma or during acute infections. As a result of such studies it has become apparent that additions must be made to the category of those which increase in concentration, usually referred to as ‘acute phase proteins’

Immunoassays for Acute Phase Proteins

1981
The acute phase response consists of increased synthesis and raised circulating concentrations of a number of plasma proteins, the so-called acute phase reactants1, 2. It is initiated by most forms of tissue injury, infection or inflammation and high levels of some acute phase proteins persist in chronic active inflammation and malignancy3, 4.

Acute Phase Proteins and Transformed Cells

1997
Acute phase proteins (APP) are plasma proteins whose concentration and glycosylation alters in response to tissue injury, inflammation, or tumor growth. Significant interspecies and sex differences in APP response exist. APP are produced mainly by hepatocytes, and their synthesis and glycosylation are controlled by a network consisting of cytokines ...
