Acute-phase proteins are proteins with innate immune function whose production is increased in the presence of an infection. They circulate in the blood and participate in early phases of host defense against infection. An example is mannose-binding lectin.
Las proteínas de fase aguda son proteínas con función inmunitaria innata cuya producción aumenta en presencia de infección. Circulan en la sangre y participan en las fases tempranas de la defensa del huésped contra la infección. Un ejemplo es la lectina de unión a manosa.
