		The clinical use of acute phase proteins is as an aid to diagnosis [15].
		Because the acute phase response is relatively non-specific, the value of measuring acute-phase protein concentrations is to assess the extent of inflammation reflecting momentary disease activity.
		ESR is an indirect measure of the acute phase reaction.

	Tumor necrosis factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TNFα is a member of a group of other cytokines that all stimulate the acute phase reaction.
		It is a 185 amino acid glycoprotein peptide hormone, cleaved from a 212 amino acid-long propeptide on the surface of macrophages.
		On the liver: stimulating the acute phase response, leading to an increase in C-reactive protein and a number of other mediators.

		The severity scoring system of the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) was applied by Larvin and McMahon in the setting of acute pancreatitis, and it was demonstrated that those with scores higher than 7 were likely to have severe disease [6].
		The criteria of the severity of acute pancreatitis were based on the Atlanta classification [10] including the presence of local (pancreatic necrosis, pseudocysts, abscess), and systemic complications (accompanying organ failure, renal failure, pulmonary insufficiency, shock e.g.).
		Serum CRP is an acute phase reactant, which is elevated in various inflammatory conditions, and serves as a nonspecific inflammation marker.

	Abstract
		Acute phase proteins may serve as a laboratory marker of cytokine network function: changes in APP level reflect changes in cytokine balance and are easier to follow analytically.
		An inflammatory reaction clearly exists in all MF patients, as the concentrations of AGP and ACT were increased.
		It suggests that in early stage of MF the inflammatory reaction seems to be acute and changes during progression of the disease towards chronic image.

		The varied reactions of the host to infection, inflammation or trauma are collectively known as the acute phase response and encompass a wide range of pathophysiologic responses such as pyrexia, leukocytosis, hormone alterations, muscle protein depletion and trace (Johnson, 1997) combining to minimise tissue damage while enhancing the repair process.
		Analysis of acute phase proteins in pig production and medicine has become an area of increasing interest in relation to assessment of levels of immunological stress related to sub-clinical infection and thus to herd health status and as a potential marker for disease at slaughter.

	Allergic reactions Information on Healthline
		In fact, the immune response that causes an allergic reaction is similar to that which causes hayfever.
		Once a person is sensitized (has had a previous sensitivity reaction), even a very limited exposure to a very small amount of allergen can trigger a severe reaction.
		If the allergic reaction is from a honey bee sting, scrape the stinger off the skin with something firm (such as a fingernail or plastic credit card).

		Although the model of acute phase reaction is not a model for liver regeneration, but because dramatic changes of liver gene expression were observable, it was used as a control.
		The expression of the orphan nuclear receptors genes was analysed by real-time PCR in rat models of liver regeneration, acute liver injury, in the fetal liver and as control in acute phase response.
		Acute phase reaction was induced in male Wistar rats by injection of 2.5 ml/kg turpentine oil into the right and left hind limp, intramusculary, as reported [42]; control animals received no injections.

	eMedicine - Hypersensitivity Reactions, Immediate : Article by Miriam K Anand
		Such reactions are known as hypersensitivity reactions, and the study of these is termed immunopathology.
		Immediate hypersensitivity reactions are mediated by IgE, but T and B cells play important roles in the development of these antibodies.
		Patients may not be able to identify the allergen either because they are unaware of the allergy (eg, first reaction to insect sting) or because they were unaware of exposure to the allergen (eg, a patient who is allergic to peanuts who eats a processed food containing peanut protein).

		Acute phase reactants are a group of plasma proteins, the levels of which alter in response to tissue injury, inflammation or malignancy.
		Although the ESR and CRP may be valuable indicators of an acute phase response, normal results do not exclude active disease.
		However, an awareness that they are acute phase reactants is of value in the interpretation of results in patients with inflammatory or neoplastic disorders.

	Axis-Shield PoC - The acute phase reaction
		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.
		CRP is a major acute phase protein acting mainly through Ca2+-dependent binding to, and clearance of, different target molecules in microbes, cell debris and cell nuclear material.
		CRP is regarded as an important member of the family of acute phase proteins, having evolved almost unchanged from primitive to advanced species.

	Serum Chemistry Profile Interpretation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Acute phase response occurs with systemic inflammatory disease, resulting in a shift in hepatic synthesis away from albumin and other substances (the so called “negative acute phase reactants”) to more essential participants in the inflammatory process (called “positive acute phase reactants”).
		Because this patient has evidence of systemic inflammation (an inflammatory leukogram), decreased hepatic albumin synthesis secondary to an acute phase reaction is possible.

		Further development of acute phase protein assays are underway while the applications of proteomics in diagnosis of disease in animals is also being investigated.

		They found these reactions to include bronchospasm, wheezing and dyspnea and to be related to the length of the storage time and the white cell content of the platelet concentrate.

		Our hypothesis is that under these circumstances the iron uptake of ferritin will not keep pace with its synthesis, and is therefore not a valid reflection of the iron status in these patients.
		We conclude that the acute phase ferritin in patients with AOSD contains less iron in comparison to ferritin in healthy controls.
		We suggest that soluble transferrin receptor is the method of choice in estimating the iron status of patients with an acute phase reaction.

	TikiWiki : Fructose
		Both TNF and a high fructose diet trigger an 'acute phase response' in the liver, which leads to profound changes in the blood.
		Several factors in the blood are increased when the liver goes into the acute phase response; these include antitrypsin and macroglobulin, fibrinogen and other factors that promote coagulation, and the complement proteins (which produce immune activation and inflamation).
		Research suggests that CRP and the acute phase response is a precursor of rheumatoid disease.

	Acute Phase Proteins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Injuries such as bacterial or parasitic infections, physical and chemical traumata, immunological disorders and malignant tumor growth lead to a highly complex reaction of the organism, called acute-phase response.
		Besides fever, pain, leukocytosis, protein catabolism and other reactions of the organism it includes a drastic change in the synthesis of acute-phase proteins (APP) in the liver.
		The acute phase reaction is induced by various mediators produced by activated monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts etc. Among the inflammatory mediators cytokines - hormone-like molecules - play an important role.
