Fig. 3From: Comparative evaluation of acute phase proteins by C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in nonhuman primates and feline carnivoresAcute phase proteins in animal patients. A, B and C Japanese raccoon dogs with injury and subcutaneous abscess. A and B show increased vCRP and vSAA, respectively. The reference value of CRP is 2.85 ± 0.40 nmol/L (n = 4) and 2.20 ± 0.20 μg/mL (n = 4) for SAA. C Serum protein electrophoretic trace exhibits increased α, β- and γ-globulin fractions. D vSAA concentrations obtained from Suncus. The reference value is 1.90 ± 1.19 μg/mL (n = 10). E vCRP concentrations in bears. The reference value is 2.86 ± 1.00 nmol/L (the author’s previous data, n = 12)Back to article page
