Background: C-reactive protein is a nonspecific, acute-phase, inflammatory protein, whose expression increased in response to tissue injury, inflammation and infection. The highest concentrations of CRP are found an individual having some bacterial infections where level increase up 1,000-fold. present study was undertaken determine the levels clinically suspected OPD IPD patient by Latex agglu...

Hepatocyte and immune system: acute phase reaction as a contribution to early defence mechanisms Cytokines, a variety of hormone-like molecules, include a group of soluble factors-the interferons, interleukins, and hematopoietic growth factors. They build a complex network of interactive signals and are important for the regulation of hematopoesis and many immune reactions. The interaction of t...

This report describes the purification of an acute phase reactant from acute phase rabbit serum, which endows normal serum with the properties of acute phase serum, insofar as LPS is concerned. The acute phase reactant is referred to as LPS-binding protein, or LBP. LBP was purified approximately 2,000-fold by chromatography of acute phase serum on Bio-Rex 70 and Mono-Q resins. The resulting pre...
