A conformational change of C-reactive protein drives neutrophil extracellular trap formation in inflammation

A conformational change of C-reactive protein drives neutrophil extracellular trap formation in inflammation

Abstract Background C-reactive protein (CRP) represents a routine diagnostic marker of inflammation. Dissociation of native pentameric CRP (pCRP) into the monomeric structure (mCRP) liberates proinflammatory features, presumably contributing to excessive immune cell activation via unknown molecular...
