Background Information
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an evolutionary highly conserved member of the pentraxin superfamily of proteins. CRP consists of five identical subunits with molecular weight 20-30 kDa arranged as a cyclic pentamer. CRP exists in at least two conformationally distinct forms, native pentameric CRP (pCRP) and modified/monomeric CRP (mCRP). CRP plays important roles in inflammatory processes and host responses to infection including promoting agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling, phagocytosis, and complement fixation through its Ca2+-dependent binding to phosphorylcholine (PCh). CRP is mainly expressed by hepatocytes and secreted into plasma. The concentration of CRP will increase significantly in plasma during acute phase response to tissue injury, infection, or other inflammatory stimuli.

FAQ
1、I have limited sample diluent. How should I handle samples requiring high dilution factors?
Answer: We recommend performing a serial dilution. For example, if human serum requires a 1,000,000-fold dilution, you can use a three-step 100× dilution method as follows:
Step 1: Take 2 uL of human serum and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 100-fold diluted sample.
Step 2: Take 2 uL of the 100-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 10,000-fold diluted sample.
Step 3: Take 2 uL of the 10,000-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 1,000,000-fold diluted sample.
If further dilution is required, additional serial steps can be used. We do not recommend using any other solutions or water for dilution, except for the sample diluent we suggest. If your sample diluent is still insufficient, please contact our customer service for more sample diluent.
2、If thermostatic shaker is not available, will it affect the duration of my experiment and the experimental data?
Answer: If thermostatic shaker is not available, it may take 2.5 hours to complete this experiment. After adding the antibody cocktail, we suggest you incubate the plate at 37℃ for 2 hours. After adding TMB, you only need to incubate the plate at 37℃ for 15 minutes. Through comparative experiments, our R&D personnel have confirmed that you can still obtain valid experimental data, although the signal will be slightly reduced.
