I think is procalcitonin. Maybe a doctor can confirm it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procalcitonin
The level of procalcitonin raises in a response to a proinflammatory stimulus, especially of bacterial origin. In this case, it is produced mainly by the cells of the lung and the intestine. It does not raise significantly with viral or non-infectious inflammations.
