C-reactive protein (CRP), the classic acute-phase of human serum, is synthesized by hepatocytes. Normally, it is present only in trace amounts in serum, but it can increase as much as l,000-fold in response to injury or infection. The clinical measurement of CRP in serum therefore appears to be a valuable screening test for organic disease and a sensitive index of disease activity in inflammatory, infective and ischemic conditions. MacLeod and Avery found that antibody produced against purified CRP provided a more sensitive test than the Cpolysaccharide assay. Since that time a number of immunological assays have been devised to measure CRP such as capillary precipitation, double immunodiffusion and radical immunodiffusion. The major advantage of this method is the rapid two (2) minute reaction time.

STORAGE AND STABILITY
• Reagents are stable until stated expiration date on bottle label when stored refrigerated (2 - 8°C).
• Do not freeze.
• The CRP latex reagent, once shaken must be uniform without visible clumping. When stored refrigerated, a slight sedimentation may occur and should be considered normal.
• Do not use the latex reagent or controls if they become contaminated.
• Glass slides should be thoroughly rinsed with water and wiped with lint-free tissue after each use. SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND STORAGE
• Use fresh serum collected by centrifuging clotted blood.
• If the test cannot be carried out on the same day, store the specimen for 7 days (at 2 - 8°C and for 3 months at - 20°C.)
• For longer periods the sample must be frozen.
• As in all serological tests, hemolytic or contaminated serum must not be used.
