CRP immunodeposition and proteomic analysis in abdominal aortic aneurysm.

<h4>Objective</h4>The molecular mechanisms of the degeneration of the aortic wall in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are poorly understood. The monomeric form of C-reactive protein (mCRP) is deposited in damaged cardiovascular organs and aggravates the prognosis; however, it is unknown w...
