Description: The human C-reactive protein Instant ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of human C-reactive protein. The human C-reactive protein Instant ELISA is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
C-reactive protein is an acute phase protein exclusively synthesized by hepatocytes in response to cytokines released into circulation by activated leukocytes. Serum and plasma levels of CRP have been shown to rise during response to a wide variety of diseases including bacterial infections, acute phase of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation of the bile duct. High CRP is also found in Guillain-Barre syndrome patients, in multiple sclerosis, viral infections, tuberculosis, acute infectious hepatitis, necrotic diseases, burned patients and after surgical trauma.
CRP thus has been shown to be a useful indicator of inflammatory processes. CRP levels rise in serum or plasma within 24 to 48 hours after acute tissue damage, peaking at acute stage and decreasing with resolution of inflammation or trauma. In addition to being a marker of inflammatory diseases, CRP turned out to be a predictive value as cardiac marker to assess risk of cardio vascular and peripheral vascular disease.
