- The Biologic Structure and Function of CRP
- Tillet and Francis first discovered CRP in 1930 at Rockefeller University while examining the serum of adult patients diagnosed with acute pneumococcal pneumonia. They observed a precipitation reaction between CRP and the C-polysaccharide cell wall of the pneumococcal bacteria. This reaction later was determined to be the result of CRP binding to C-polysaccharide in the presence of calcium, forming CRP-ligand complexes. CRP's unique binding characteristics have led to the identification of elevated CRP levels in over 70 different infectious and noninfectious disorders associated with acute and chronic inflammatory disorders in adults, children, and infants.
