How the assay works
A C Reactive Protein specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a C Reactive Protein specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of C Reactive Protein captured in plate.
The entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Biological function summary
CRP plays a significant role in the innate immune system by recognizing foreign pathogens and damaged cells. It does not form part of a larger complex but itself can bind to specific ligands initiating the complement cascade. This activation enhances phagocytosis by macrophages contributing to the clearance of necrotic and apoptotic cells. The CRP protein therefore acts as a fast responder in the presence of inflammation making it a useful indicator for monitoring inflammatory diseases.
Pathways
CRP operates predominantly within the acute-phase response pathway. Its production is upregulated by cytokines such as IL-6 which connects it to inflammation-signaling pathways. CRP also interacts with the complement system bridging innate and adaptive immunity. Besides CRP could indirectly influence pathways involving other inflammatory proteins like serum amyloid A and haptoglobin creating a network of responses important for managing inflammation.
