While it's uncertain how much reducing CRP itself can help, elevated levels are a sign that you likely have other risk factors that need to be addressed with aggressive measures.

In summary, these findings indicate that BNT162b1 induces functional and proinflammatory CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses in almost all participants, with TH1 polarization of the helper response. As was also observed in the USA trial of this vaccine candidate1, reactogenicity to BNT162b1 is dose-dependent, and a higher proportion of participants had severe reactogenicity after the second dose, leading to a decision not to admininster a boost at the 60-g dose level. Three dilutions were used to increase the likelihood that at least one result for any sample would fall within the useable range of the standard curve. 2020 Oct;586(7830):594-599. doi: 10.1038/s41586-020-2814-7. Background: The objective of this cohort study was to determine whether elevated CRP in early COVID-19 was associated with 14-day mortality in geriatric patients. Feldman, R. A. et al. C-reactive protein, high sensitivity, serum. It could be that it merely reflects the vascular injury and inflammation that results from other risk factors.

Risk Assessment for Cardiovascular Disease With Nontraditional Risk Factors: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein the liver produces in the presence of infection or inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. Because of the reactogenicity reported after the 50-g boost dose, participants who had received an initial 60-g dose did not receive a boost injection. Rev. CD4 non-responders (<0.03% total cytokine-producing T cells; 1g, n=5; 10g, n=1; 30g, n=2; 50g, n=1; 60g, n=6) were excluded. Our results confirm the dose-dependency of RBD-binding IgG and neutralization responses and reproduces our previous findings for the 10 and 30g dose levels of BNT162b1 in the USA trial1. mRNA is transiently expressed and does not integrate into the genome. Regardless, elevated CRP must be taken seriously as it is associated with conditions that affect the health of your heart and the supply of blood to the rest of your body. At 24 h post-transfection at 37C, cells were infected with the VSVG:mNeon/VSV-G diluted in Opti-MEM (Life Technologies) at a multiplicity of infection of 1.
