    Abstract The phylogenetically ancient, pentraxin family of plasma proteins, comprises C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP) in humans and the homologous proteins in other species. They are composed of five, identical, non-covalently associated protomers arranged with cyclic pentameric symmetry in a disc-like configuration. Each protomer has a calcium dependent site that mediates the particular specific ligand binding responsible for all the rigorously established functional properties of these proteins. No genetic deficiency of either human CRP or SAP has been reported, nor even any sequence polymorphism in the proteins themselves. Although their actual functions in humans are therefore unknown, gene deletion studies in mice demonstrate that both proteins can contribute to innate immunity. CRP is the classical human acute phase protein, routinely measured in clinical practice worldwide to monitor disease activity. Human SAP, which is not an acute phase protein, is a universal constituent of all human amyloid deposits as a result of its avid specific binding to amyloid fibrils of all types. SAP thereby contributes to amyloid formation and persistence

    Abstract The mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are poorly understood. The normal plasma protein, serum amyloid P component (SAP), which is normally rigorously excluded from the brain, is directly neurocytotoxic for cerebral neurones and also binds to Aβ amyloid fibrils and neurofibrillary tangles, promoting formation and persistence of Aβ fibrils. Increased brain exposure to SAP is common to many risk factors for dementia, including TBI, and dementia at death in the elderly is significantly associated with neocortical SAP content. Here, in 18 of 30 severe TBI cases, we report immunohistochemical staining for SAP in contused brain tissue with blood–brain barrier disruption. The SAP was localized to neurofilaments in a subset of neurones and their processes, particularly damaged axons and cell bodies, and was present regardless of the time after injury. No SAP was detected on astrocytes, microglia, cerebral capillaries or serotoninergic neurones and was absent from undamaged brain. C-reactive protein, the control plasma protein most closely similar to SAP, was only detected within capillary lumina. The appearance of neurocytotoxic SAP in the brain after TBI, and its persistent, selective deposition in cerebral neurones, are consistent with a potential contribution to subsequent neurodegeneration.
