Obstacles to cancer immunotherapy: expression of membrane complement regulatory proteins (mCRPs) in tumors

Molecular Immunology, 2003
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are being increasingly used in cancer therapy owing to their ability to recognize specifically cancer cells and to activate complement- and cell-mediated cytotoxicity and/or to induce growth arrest or apoptosis. The therapeutic potential of anticancer antibodies is significantly limited due to the ability of cancer cells to

Circulating levels of the pro-inflammatory monomeric isoform of C-reactive protein (mCRP) correlate with inflammatory markers in patients with stage II-III colon cancer.

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2023
e15641 Background: Tumor-promoting inflammation is an established hallmark of cancer. C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most studied negative prognostic markers of the systemic inflammatory response (SIR) and known to be implicated in detrimental immune responses. Circulating CRP, as measured in routine practice, is a pentameric structure (pCRP).

Abdominal lymphatic system visibility, morphology, and abnormalities in children as seen on routine MCRP and its association with immune-mediated diseases

European Radiology, 2020
(1) To assess the visibility and diameters of the thoracic duct (TD) and cisterna chyli (CC) on MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in children. (2) To evaluate for the presence of any lymphatic abnormalities and assess their association with diseases in which the immune system is implicated in etiopathogenesis.This retrospective study included 142 ...

Cell membranes and liposomes dissociate C‐reactive protein (CRP) to form a new, biologically active structural intermediate: mCRP m

The FASEB Journal, 2006
Emerging evidence indicates that C‐reactive protein (CRP) has at least two conformationally distinct isoforms, i.e ., pentameric CRP (pCRP) and monomeric CRP (mCRP or CRP subunit). Both CRP isoforms are proposed to play roles in inflammation and may participate in the pathogenesis of ...

Stimulation of megakaryocytopoiesis in mice by human modified C-reactive protein (mCRP)

Experimental hematology, 1996
The prototypic human acute phase reactant, C-reactive protein (CRP), and a structurally modified form of CRP (mCRP) were studied as agents which could stimulate thrombopoiesis in both in vitro and in vivo mouse models. mCRP, but not the widely studied (native) pentameric form of CRP, demonstrated significant megakaryocyte colony-stimulating activity ...
