The levels of acute phase reactants increase in response to certain inflammatory proteins called Cytokines. These proteins are produced by white blood cells(Macrophages) during inflammation. Macrophages are type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells.
