However, pCRP can dissociate to form monomeric CRP (mCRP) which exhibits a clear pro-inflammatory behaviour in contrast to the more anti-inflammatory properties of pCRP. Therefore, mCRP may be an informative biomarker to demonstrate chronic low-grade systemic inflammation. This was confirmed by analysing serum samples from 38 patients with COPD and 18 non-COPD control persons (NCCP). mCRP was significantly elevated in patients with COPD vs. NCCP, indicating that mCRP might be considered as a new sensitive marker of chronic low-grade systemic inflammation.Keywords: COPD, low-grade systemic inflammation, pCRP, mCRPMunuswamy RDe Brandt JBurtin CDerave WAumann JSpruit MAMichiels LDove Medical Pressarticlecopdlow-grade systemic inflammationpcrpmcrpPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
