Targeting C-Reactive Protein in Inflammatory Disease by Preventing Conformational Changes by J. R. Thiele, J. Zeller, H. Bannasch, G. B. Stark, K. Peter, S. U. Eisenhardt

“…Here we review the current literature on the causal role of the dissociation mechanism of pCRP and the genesis of mCRP for the amplification of the proinflammatory potential in inflammatory reactions such as atherosclerosis and ischemia/reperfusion injury. The chance to prevent the formation of proinflammatory mediators in ubiquitous inflammatory cascades has pushed therapeutic strategies by targeting pCRP dissociation in inflammation. …”
