Studies of Acute Phase Protein [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 1961
Summary Following the injection of I131-labeled BSA into rabbits, CxRP was found to appear in the serum of one half of the animals demonstrating an immune response. The time of appearance of CxRP indicated that the inflammation began coincident with or immediately following the appearance of immune complexes in the circulation.

Disease progression in cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis is indicated by serial calculation of National Amyloidosis Centre transthyretin amyloidosis stage

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR‐CM) is a progressive and fatal condition. Prognosis can be determined at diagnosis according to the National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) stage.

Acute Phase Protein Response in Goats [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2008
Acute phase proteins (APPs) are important diagnostic indicators of inflammatory disturbances in animals. The objectives of the current study were to validate analytical methods for measuring haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA), acid soluble glycoprotein (ASG), fibrinogen, and albumin concentrations in goats and to evaluate their response to an ...

Electronic nose responses and acute phase proteins correlate in blood using a bovine model of respiratory infection [PDF]

, 2010
This study aimed (i) to assess the ability of electronic nose (e-nose) technology to differentiate between blood samples of experimentally infected and non-infected subjects, and (ii) to evaluate e-nose responses given by volatile organic compounds in ...

Analysis of Cardiac Amyloidosis Progression Using Model-Based Markers

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Deposition of amyloid in the heart can lead to cardiac dilation and impair its pumping ability. This ultimately leads to heart failure with worsening symptoms of breathlessness and fatigue due to the progressive loss of elasticity of the myocardium ...

Maternal undernutrition and the ovine acute phase response to vaccination [PDF]

, 1985
Background: The acute phase response is the immediate host response to infection, inflammation and trauma and can be monitored by measuring the acute phase proteins (APP) such as haptoglobin ( Hp) or serum amyloid A (SAA).

Clinical profile and treatment outcome of older (>75 years) patients with systemic AL amyloidosis

Haematologica, 2015
Systemic AL amyloidosis, a disease with improving outcomes using novel therapies, is increasingly recognized in the elderly but treatment and outcomes have not been systematically studied in this group of patients in whom comorbidities and frailty may ...

Association of the transthyretin variant V122I with polyneuropathy among individuals of African ancestry

Scientific Reports, 2021
Hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed, progressively debilitating disease caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene.

C. elegans feed yolk to their young in a form of primitive lactation

Nature Communications, 2021
It is unclear why C. elegans continues to produce large quantities of yolk after reproduction. Here the authors show that post-reproductive C. elegans mothers vent yolk which supports their offspring’s growth, serving as a form of primitive lactation.
