	Acute Phase Proteins
		Acute phase proteins (APPs) are a large and varied group of glycoproteins in the serum which are unrelated to immunoglobulin.
		Acute phase proteins are also being evaluated for their utility in antemortem and postmortem meat and poultry inspection as part of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program.
		Continued high levels of this acute phase protein for treatment for conditions where the protein level is high initially suggests that treatment is not working or not appropriate.

		The protein was found to bind to erythrocytes in a non-saturable manner at a few thousand copies per erythrocyte [4], and to reduce the surface charge of the cells [5].
		The protein consisting of the 170 kDa polypeptide was purified from APP (Figure 2, upper panel) essentially using the procedure employed for the purification of the ascites fluid protein [4].
		Although the ascites fluid- and APP-derived proteins have similar molecular characteristics and are immunologically and functionally related, the protein from the APP was unable to enhance the ConA-mediated agglutinability of erythrocytes (Figure 4).

	Acute phase protein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acute phase proteins are a class of proteins that are synthetized in the liver in response to inflammation.
		This response is called the acute phase reaction.
		Measurement of acute phase proteins is a useful marker of inflammation in both medical and veterinary clinical pathology.

		The acute-phase protein response is a useful prognostic indicator for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.
		Moreover, the metabolic disturbances associated with an acute-phase protein response of patients with pancreatic cancer may be a worthwhile therapeutic target.

		The first acute protein to be recognised was C-reactive protein (CRP), which in man was shown to provide information on the presence of inflammatory lesions, on the prognosis of the condition and on the response to treatment (Pepys, Baltz, 1983).

		CRP is an acute-phase protein with a rapid synthesis stimulated by acute and chronic infections or tissue injury.
		CRP induction is part of a larger picture of the acute phase response, in which synthesis of many plasma proteins is increased and synthesis of a smaller number, notably albumin, is decreased.
		The unique regulation of each acute phase gene is due to cytokine-induced specific interactions of these and other transcription factors on their promoters.

		Interpretive Summary: To investigate the effects of transportation and commingling on the acute phase protein response in newly weaned calves, two experiments (Exp) were conducted on alternating years using freshly weaned calves.
		Acute phase proteins (proteins release by the liver in response to infections and stressors) were measured.
		The results of these studies indicate that the acute phase protein response is stimulated by the stress associated with calf weaning, but they are more variable in response to transportation.

		It is a 58 kDa protein that is synthesized in the liver, and it potently enhances the sensitivity of monocytes and granulocytes to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by facilitating binding of LPS to the CD14 cell membrane molecule [9,10].
		In conclusion, LBP is a nonspecific marker of the acute phase response and cannot be used as a diagnostic tool for differentiating between infectious and noninfectious etiologies of SIRS.

		The acute phase reaction is the body’s first line inflammatory defence system, functioning without specificity and memory, in front of, and in parallel with, the adaptive immune system.
		C-reactive protein (CRP) is a major acute phase protein and the serum concentration may increase more than 1000-fold in the acute phase, as a response to an inflammatory stimulus.
		In certain countries, C-reactive protein (CRP) determination is one of the most common laboratory tests, both in point-of-care and in hospital settings.
