BIOSYNTHESIS AND POSTSYNTHETIC ASSEMBLY OF HUMAN C REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP)

C-reactive protein: CRP IL-6 homocysteine.

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

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 complement and the protein reportedly binds various Fc receptors. Coincident with a now decade-long resurgence in clinical interest in associations of CRP with disease, ou...

C-reactive Protein (crp) and Its Predictive Role

Measurement of C- Reactive Protein (CRP ) Using Magnetic Nanobeads Add ELISA

Abstract Background and Objective: Magnetic nanobeads have a large surface- area-to-volume ratio, which is used for immobilized antibody. Using nanoparticles could increase the amount of antibodies in surface in comparison to ELISA. We investigated the ability of magnetic nanobeads to evaluate CRP by colorimetric method and compared the results with ELISA. Material and Methods: This stud...

The antimicrobial properties of C-reactive protein (CRP).

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. In this work, the antimicrobial activity of a recom...
