Extra Details:: Pentraxins family of proteins acquired the name from their ability to form pentameric (or decameric) structures formed by non-covalent interactions. C-reactive protein (CRP or PTX1; mature chain 206aa; chromosome 1q21-23) nonglycosylated, ~24kD monomer and ~118kD pentamer) is a ubiquitous protein found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Originally CRP was defined as a substance, observed in the plasma of patients with acute infections, that reacted with the C polysaccharide of the pneumococcus. It is one of the plasma proteins that are called acute phase reactants because of a pronounced rise in concentration after tissue injury or inflammation; in the case of CRP the rise may be 1000-fold or more. CRP is composed of 5 identical, 21,500-molecular weight subunits. It is detectable on the surface of about 4% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes. Acute phase reactant CRP is produced in the liver; those cells produce CRP detectable on lymphocytes. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Western Blot, though not tested, may potentially be used as an application. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:5000-1:30,000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
