Electrochemical evaluation of anti-CRP/CRP interaction for the molecular diagnosis of the cardiovascular risk
Background The C-reactive protein (CRP or PTX1) is an acute phase protein, expressed by hepatocytes, that is regarded as a clinical marker for infection and has been increasingly used as a risk indicator in chronic inflammatory diseases [1]. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease that remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Its progression is associated with the accumulation of li...
متن کاملAssociation study of CRP gene polymorphisms with serum CRP level and cardiovascular risk in the NHLBI Family Heart Study.
Recent epidemiological studies have indicated that baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) levels may have value in prediction of cardiovascular risk. Using six tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from our complete list of SNPs on the CRP gene, we investigated the association of CRP genotypes with plasma CRP levels and cardiovascular risk in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institu...
متن کاملCRP--marker or maker of cardiovascular disease?
C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an interesting novel and potentially clinically useful marker for increased cardiovascular risk.1,2 This is an attractive concept because atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by chronic arterial inflammation3,4 and suggests the possibility that subclinical states of atherosclerosis can be identified by an increase in circulating markers of inflammat...
متن کاملPaper-based CRP Monitoring Devices
Here, we discuss the development of a paper-based diagnostic device that is inexpensive, portable, easy-to-use, robust, and capable of running simultaneous tests to monitor a relevant inflammatory protein for clinical diagnoses i.e. C-reactive protein (CRP). In this study, we first attempted to make a paper-based diagnostic device via the wax printing method, a process that was used in previous...
