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 206 aa; 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, 21,500MW 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: 1:2500-1:10,000Western Blot: 1:250-1:2500Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage, store at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
