In a study comparing cytokine concentrations between remitted BD and MDD patients and healthy controls, higher concentrations of soluble Interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R), C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble Tumor-Necrosis-Factor-receptor-1 (sTNF-R) and Monocyte-chemoattractant-protein -1 (MCP-1) were shown in BD compared to MDD (41). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is major depressive disorder.
