The pentraxin C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentameric protein now known to be able to undergo dissociation into a monomeric, modified isoform, referred to as mCRP. In carefully assessing the bioactivities of each isoform, mCRP has strong pro-inflammatory activities while pCRP has mild anti-inflammatory activities. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is

C-reactive protein (CRP) aptamer binds to monomeric but not pentameric form of CRP [PDF]
Native C-reactive protein (CRP) is composed of five identical subunits arranged in a pentameric structure (pCRP). Binding of pCRP to damaged cell membranes produces a second isoform, modified CRP, which has similar antigenicity to isolated monomeric subunits of CRP (mCRP).

Monomeric CRP and negative acute phase proteins, but not pentameric CRP, as biomarkers of major depression and MDMD [PDF]
Abstract Background: Contrary to the negative acute-phase protein (APP) response, there is no consistent correlation between serum pentameric C-reactive protein (pCRP) and major depression (MDD). Monomeric CRP (mCRP), a dissociation product of pCRP under immune-inflammatory conditions, exhibits

The ensuing ischemia due to the disruption of blood supply to the brain is one of the most common causes of stroke. Evidence suggests a clear association of the ischemic injury with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). In response to the brain ischemia, a cascade reaction starts leading to neuronal damage due to oxidative stress and other ...

Monomeric CRP and Negative Acute Phase Proteins but not pentameric CRP are biomarkers of major depression and especially major dysmood disorder [PDF]
Abstract Background Contrary to the negative acute-phase protein (APP) response, there is no consistent correlation between serum pentameric C-reactive protein (pCRP) and major depression (MDD). Monomeric CRP (mCRP), a dissociation product of pCRP under immune-inflammatory conditions, exhibits pro-inflammatory

Inflammation is pivotal in atherosclerosis. Minor C-reactive protein (CRP) response reflects low-grade vascular inflammation and the high-sensitivity CRP test with levels > or = 3.0 mg/l predicts coronary vascular events and survival in angina pectoris as well as in healthy subjects. We and others recently reported autoantibodies against monomeric CRP (

Redefining CRP in tissue injury and repair: more than an acute pro-inflammatory mediator [PDF]
Most early studies investigating the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in tissue damage determined it supported pro-hemostatic and pro-inflammatory activities.

Fueling the flames of colon cancer – does CRP play a direct pro-inflammatory role?
BackgroundSystemic inflammation, diagnostically ascribed by measuring serum levels of the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP), has consistently been correlated with poor outcomes across cancer types.
