The immunoassay detected the 14-3-3 protein in cerebrospinal fluid from 68 of the 71 patients with CreutzfeldtâJakob disease (96 percent; 95 percent confidence interval, 92 to 99 percent). Among 94 patients with other dementias, the specificity was 96 percent.
C-reactive protein is an annular, pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose levels rise in response to inflammation. It is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells. Its physiological role is to bind to lysophosphatidylcholine expressed on the surface of dead or dying cells in order to activate the complement system via C1q. CRP is synthesized by the liver in response to factors released by macrophages and fat cells (adipocytes). It is a member of the pentraxin family of proteins. It is not related to C-peptide (insulin) or protein C (blood coagulation). C-reactive protein was the first pattern recognition receptor (PRR) to be identified.
