Extracellular vesicles are associated with C-reactive protein in sepsis
Abstract There is increasing evidence that C-reactive protein (CRP) can mediate inflammatory reactions following the transformation of functionally inert pentameric CRP (pCRP) into its structural isoform pCRP* and into monomeric CRP (mCRP). This conversion can occur on the membranes of apoptotic or...
