The Clinical Significance and Potential Role of C-Reactive Protein in Chronic Inflammatory and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein synthesized by hepatocytes in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines during inflammatory/infectious processes.

Dose rate conversion coefficients for ocular contamination in nuclear medicine: A Monte Carlo simulation with experimental validation

Medical Physics, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 5645-5653, August 2024.
Abstract Background Since 2011, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has recommended an annual eye lens dose limit of 20 mSv for radiation workers, averaged over 5 years, with no year exceeding 50 mSv. However, limited research has been conducted on dose rate conversion coefficients (DCCs) for direct contamination of the eye ...

C-reactive protein-complement factor H axis as a biomarker of activity in early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration

Frontiers in Immunology
PurposeTo determine and compare the serum levels of complement Factor H (FH), monomeric C-Reactive Protein (mCRP) and pentameric C-Reactive protein (pCRP) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to correlate them with clinical ...

Functionality of C-Reactive Protein for Atheroprotection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentameric molecule made up of identical monomers. CRP can be seen in three different forms: native pentameric CRP (native CRP), non-native pentameric CRP (non-native CRP), and monomeric CRP (mCRP).

Interference of antimodified C-reactive protein autoantibodies from lupus nephritis in the biofunctions of modified C-reactive protein

, 2012
Autoantibodies against modified C-reactive protein (mCRP) are frequently found in patients with lupus nephritis and are associated with disease activity, suggesting their pathogenic role in lupus nephritis.

C-Reactive Protein in Atherothrombosis and Angiogenesis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a short pentraxin mainly found as a pentamer in the circulation, or as non-soluble monomers CRP (mCRP) in tissues, exerting different functions.

Binding of the monomeric form of C-reactive protein to enzymatically-modified low-density lipoprotein: Effects of phosphoethanolamine

, 2009
Background: The 5 subunits of native pentameric C-reactive protein (CRP) are dissociated to generate the monomeric form of CRP (mCRP) in some in vitro conditions, both physiological and non-physiological, and also in vivo.

Complement regulation at necrotic cell lesions is impaired by the age-related macular degeneration-associated factor-H His402 risk variant

, 2011
Age-related macular degeneration is a leading form of blindness in Western countries and is associated with a common SNP (rs 1061170/Y402H) in the Factor H gene, which encodes the two complement inhibitors Factor H and FHL1.
