C-reactive protein-like precipitins in lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) gametes

Abstract

A precipitin to pneumococcal and fungal C-substance, found in both ova and spermatozoa from a marine teleost fish, has similarities to mammalian C-reactive protein (CRP). This is the first demonstration of a CRP-like protein in the gametes of any species and adds further interest to the as yet unknown physiological role of CRP in vertebrates.
