The association of C-reactive protein with an oxidative metabolite of LDL and its implication in atherosclerosis

C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the strongest independent predictors of cardiovascular disease. We have previously reported that oxidized LDL (oxLDL) interacts with β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI), implicating oxLDL/β2GPI complexes as putative autoantigens in autoimmune-mediated atherosclerotic vascula...
