Identification of novel members of the serum amyloid A protein superfamily as constitutive apolipoproteins of high density lipoprotein.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
A novel serum amyloid A protein (SAA) has been identified as a normal apolipoprotein component of non-acute phase high density lipoprotein. This novel SAA has been designated "constitutive" SAA (C-SAA) to distinguish it from "acute phase" SAA (A-SAA).

Acute phase responses in clinically healthy multiparous Holsteins with and without calcium dysregulation during the early postpartum period

Journal of Dairy Science
: Patterns of calcium dysregulation resulting in low total serum calcium concentrations (tCa) at 4 DIM, known as dyscalcemia, commonly occur in multiparous Holsteins.

Serum amyloid A3 is a high density lipoprotein-associated acute-phase protein

Journal of Lipid Research, 2018
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a family of acute-phase reactants. Plasma levels of human SAA1/SAA2 (mouse SAA1.1/2.1) can increase ≥1,000-fold during an acute-phase response. Mice, but not humans, express a third relatively understudied SAA isoform, SAA3.

Therapeutic Benefits of Tocilizumab Vary in Different Organs of a Patient with AA Amyloidosis

Case Reports in Nephrology, 2014
Systemic reactive AA amyloidosis is a life-threatening complication of chronic inflammatory diseases. Anti-interleukin-6 receptor, tocilizumab (TCZ), has been shown to improve clinical symptoms of patients with AA amyloidosis, accompanied with regression

Evaluation of serum concentration of acute‐phase proteins (haptoglobin and serum amyloid A) in the affected Arabian foals with rhodococcosis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023
Background Early detection of Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals is essential for horse health and for veterinarians. Objectives This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of assessing the serum concentration of acute‐phase proteins (APPs) in the ...

Evolution of the Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Protein Superfamily

Genomics, 1994
The serum amyloid A (SAA) superfamily comprises a number of genes and proteins characterized from a range of mammalian species. The majority of members described to date are dramatically induced during the acute-phase response, suggesting an important short-term beneficial role in the response to tissue injury and inflammation.

Heterogeneity of human serum amyloid A proteins. [PDF]

The Journal of experimental medicine, 1980
Serum amyloid A proteins (SAA), presumed precursors of the tissue amyloid A proteins (AA) characteristic of secondary amyloidosis, have been isolated from the plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL) of normals after etiocholanolone-induced inflammation and from patients with Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosis, juvenile rheumatoid ...

Serum Amyloid A Protein Binds to Outer Membrane Protein A of Gram-negative Bacteria*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is the major acute phase protein in man and most mammals. We observed SAA binding to a surprisingly large number of Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, Klebsiella pneumoniae,

Successful treatment of AA amyloidosis with tocilizumab, resulting in the disappearance of amyloid deposits: a case-based review

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
Background AA amyloidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by the deposition of serum amyloid A protein, which is secondary to chronic inflammation.

Evaluation of acute phase proteins in cows affected by Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis [PDF]

Āsīb/shināsī-i Darmāngāhī-i Dāmpizishkī, 2008
Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis is one of the most important diseases of the bovine digestive system which if diagnosed in early stage and before severe adhesions develop, more effective treatments leading to better prognosis could be under taken.
