app notes :
The antibody has been tested by ELISA and Western blot analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results. Recommended dilution range for Western blot analysis is 1:1,000 ~ 2,000. Recommended starting dilution is 1:1,000.

Apoptosis
products description :
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein with a well-known association with infection and other inflammatory conditions. Mild elevations in C-reactive protein concentration predict myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular death in a variety of clinical settings. Despite the lack of specific evidence that C-reactive protein levels are independently associated with cardiovascular risk in patients with hypertension, the prognostic value of C-reactive protein has proven to be complementary to that of blood pressure values.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the pentaxin family. It is involved in several host defense related functions based on its ability to recognize foreign pathogens and damaged cells of the host and to initiate their elimination by interacting with humoral and cellular effector systems in the blood. Consequently, the level of this protein in plasma increases greatly during acute phase response to tissue injury, infection, or other inflammatory stimuli. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
uniprot summary :
CRP: Displays several functions associated with host defense: it promotes agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling, phagocytosis and complement fixation through its calcium-dependent binding to phosphorylcholine. Can interact with DNA and histones and may scavenge nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells. Belongs to the pentaxin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q23.2. Cellular Component: extracellular space; growth cone; extracellular region; filopodium. Molecular Function: choline binding; protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; low-density lipoprotein receptor binding; complement component C1q binding; low-density lipoprotein binding; virion binding; cholesterol binding; calcium ion binding. Biological Process: protein polymerization; defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; response to ethanol; wound healing; negative regulation of vasodilation; positive regulation of superoxide release; response to lead ion; response to hypoxia; acute-phase response; opsonization; inflammatory response; complement activation, classical pathway; aging
