摘要：

Activation of the host response to infection, the "acute-phase response," is a highly organized physiologic reaction that includes changes hi concentrations of plasma acute-phase proteins (APPs). The APPs are increasingly being used as markers for prognosis and monitoring response to therapy along with general determinants of equine health. Use of APPs in veterinary medicine is becoming more widespread as more commercial diagnostic kits are being validated. This article reviews the salient features of APPs and examines their current application and potential utility in equine inflammatory disorders.
