Proteins which increase in response to inflammation - Positive acute phase proteins2. Proteins which decrease in response to inflammation - Negative acute phase proteins1. Positive acute phase proteins* C-reactive protein (Pj-globulin)# a-2 microglobulin* a-1 antitrypsin# Mannose binding protein* Fibrinogen, prothrombin, vWF# D-dimer protein* Ferritin# Haptoglobulin* Serum amyloid A# Ceruloplasmin* Plasminogen, Factor VIII# Complement factors 2. Negative acute phase proteins* Albumin & Prealbumin# Transcortin* Transferrin# Retinol binding protein* Transthyretin
