Even if they are not fully described, many of the basic functions and characteristics of C-Reactive protein (CRP) can be recognised back in the first few articles written between 1930 and 1945. Now the number of articles on CRP runs into thousands, covering subjects such as molecular biology, basic biochemistry, physiology, regulation of synthesis, acute phase characteristics, catabolic rate and clinical utility.
