Bovine and canine acute phase proteins

Veterinary Research Communications, 1988
Acute phase proteins are serum proteins which increase in concentration during the acute phase response to inflammation or infection. The response occurs in all animals, but in different species the response of individual proteins can be significantly different.

Biological Variation of Acute Phase Proteins

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 1993
The analytical, within-subject and between-subject components of variation were estimated for serum albumin, transthyretin, α1-acid glycoprotein, α1-antichymotrypsin, haptoglobin, β2-microglobulin and C-reactive protein in a cohort of 19 apparently healthy subjects over 20 weeks.

Acute phase proteins in major depression

Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1997
Extensive evidence exists associating depression with changes in the immune system. The present study evaluates the levels of complement components C3 and C4, C-reactive proteins, and IL-6 in patients who met DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder, as well as controls.

Fetuin: an acute phase protein in cattle

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 1992
Fetuin is a plasma protein present in high concentrations during fetal development in animals of the order Artiodactyla. Its role is not known. The human homologue of fetuin--alpha 2HS glycoprotein--has been shown to be a negative acute phase protein in adult plasma. In the present study, the concentration of fetuin was measured in the serum of healthy

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 ...

Regulation of cytokines, cytokine inhibitors, and acute-phase proteins following anti-TNF-alpha therapy in rheumatoid arthritis.

Journal of Immunology, 1999
Treatment with a chimeric mAb to TNF-alpha has been shown to suppress inflammation and improve patient well-being in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the mechanisms of action of such treatment have not been fully explored.

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.
