“…Given that the exact mechanism by which acutephase proteins are elaborated is not clear, we have used an end product, C-reactive protein, rather than a specific cytokine, as a marker of the inflammatory response in humans (Pepys and Baltz, 1983;Thompson et al, 1992).…”

“…These properties are the most interesting from a clinical perspective of the horse, and are represented by the SAA. Also, the SAA is involved in the defense of the animal in its adaptation or the body's defense against pathogens [9][10][11]. Thus, the SAA is the protein that responds quickly to stimuli in the horse.…”

“…General practitioners (GPs) use laboratory tests when assessing these patients. One such test is C-reactive protein (CW), a marker of the acute phase response (2)(3)(4)(5). Because the plasma concentration of CRP increases rapidly after stimulation (after 6-8 h) and decreases rapidly because of a short half-life (5-7 h), CRF' can be a very useful tool in diagnosing and monitoring infections and inflammatory diseases (2)(3)(4)(5).…”
