form :
Supplied as a frozen liquid. Contains less than 0.02 ug/mL of human CRP, by ELISA.
storage stability :
Ships on dry ice. Upon receipt, store at -20°C.
app notes :
CRP free serum can be used for preparation of CRP standards and calibrators.
other info1 :
Source Note: Pooled normal Human serum. Affinity column was prepared by coupling anti-CRP monoclonal antibodies with BrCN-activated sepharose CL 4B. Contaminants: Not determined. Biological Significance: In blood, the serum is the component that is neither a blood cell (serum does not contain white or red blood cells) nor a clotting factor; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances (e.g., drugs and microorganisms).
other info2 :
Biohazard Information: Blood samples from donor were tested and found negative against anti-HIV 1/2, HCV and HBsAg. Laboratory precautions must be used when handling this material. Dry Ice Shipment: Extra charge fee may add to your shipping cost as dry ice is required to ship this product.

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; cholesterol binding; virion binding; calcium ion binding. Biological Process: protein polymerization; defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; response to ethanol; negative regulation of vasodilation; wound healing; positive regulation of superoxide release; response to lead ion; response to hypoxia; acute-phase response; opsonization; inflammatory response; complement activation, classical pathway; aging
