C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Autoimmune Disease: Facts and Conjectures [PDF]

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2004
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a blood component comprised of five identical subunits with a combined molecular mass of 110 kDa; in the presence of Ca++ it binds phosphocholine (PC) with high affinity. Ligand-bound CRP activates

Immunoradiometric assay of circulating C-reactive protein: age-related values in the adult general population [PDF]

, 2000
Background: Increased values of C-reactive protein (CRP), the classical acute phase protein, within the range below 5 mg/L, previously considered to be within the reference interval, are strongly associated with increased risk of atherothrombotic events,

The antimicrobial properties of C-reactive protein (CRP) [PDF]

Journal of Endotoxin Research, 2005
C-reactive protein, CRP, is a predominant pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) in the plasma of the horseshoe crab, which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Native CRP2 has previously been shown to exhibit agglutination activity against the polysialic capsule of Escherichia coli K1 but its role in bacterial clearance is not well characterized.

C-reactive protein haplotypes and dispositional optimism in obese and nonobese elderly subjects [PDF]

, 2011
Background Chronic low-grade inflammation, characterized by elevated plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), has been inversely associated with dispositional optimism.

C-reactive protein is essential for innate resistance to pneumococcal infection. [PDF]

, 2014
No deficiency of human C-reactive protein (CRP), or even structural polymorphism of the protein, has yet been reported so its physiological role is not known.

Role of C Reactive Protein (CRP) in Leptin Resistance [PDF]

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014
Increased plasma levels of both leptin and C reactive protein (CRP) have been reported in a number of conditions, including obesity, and have been linked to cardiovascular pathophysiological processes and increased cardiovascular risk; interestingly these two biomarkers appear to be able to reciprocally regulate their bioavailability, through complex ...

Effect of Surgical Periodontal Therapy on Serum C-reactive Protein Levels Using ELISA in Both Chronic and Aggressive Periodontitis Patient [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015
Background: Periodontitis can be defined as a local inflammatory process which mediates destruction of periodontal tissues & is triggered by bacterial insult. In periodontal infections, the levels of C reactive proteins are elevated as compared to the
