C-Reactive Protein Available to Researchers from Lee Biosolutions

ST. LOUIS – Lee Biosolutions has announced the production and availability of Human C-Reactive Protein (CRP) for purchase at LeeBio.com (refer to Category No. 140-11).

C-Reactive Protein is a protein found in the blood that operates as a marker for inflammation, meaning its presence indicates an increased state of inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a normal response to a number of physical states including fever, injury and infection. Inflammation is also believed to play a role in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular disease.

According to Lee Biosolutions President Burton Lee, the company pays close attention to the clinical research community to stay ahead of their demands for products like CRP.

“Lee Biosolutions has developed a reputation for high quality biomarker production.” Lee said. “Cardiac markers like myeloperoxidase, cardiac troponin and C-Reactive Protein have become very popular among researchers in recent years as they study the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases and conditions.”

CRP studies have shown that baseline Human C-Reactive Protein concentrations are not subject to time-of-day variation and, therefore, help explain why CRP concentrations are a better predictor of vascular risk than interleukin-6. Determination of CRP for cardiovascular risk prediction may be performed without concern for diumal variation.

According to the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry reports on Human CRP, increased concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers such as Human C-Reactive Protein CRP, serum Amvloid A, myeloperoxidase and interleukin-6 are detectable in ACS (acute coronary syndrome) patients.

Lee Biosolutions is a leader in the biomaterials industry, providing the quality biomaterial products to clinical labs and researchers around the world, developing tomorrow’s cures. The company has provided the materials used in a number of high profile biomarker studies.
