Zusammenfassung
Amyloidfibrillen-Proteine, isoliert aus der Milz eines Steinmarders (Martes foina, Exleben) mit idiopathischer Amyloidose, zeigen Ähnlichkeit mit dem Amyloid-A-Protein. Ein Antiserum gegen diese Proteine kann die hier untersuchten Amyloid-Ablagerungen mit Hilfe der Immunperoxidase-Technik an formalin-fixierten und paraffin-eingebetteten Gewebeschnitten identifizieren.
Summary
Amyloid fibril proteins isolated from a spleen of a wild stone marten (Martes foina, Exleben) with idiopathic amyloidosis show resemblance to protein AA by amino acid analysis. An antiserum directed against these proteins can be used to identify the marten's amyloid in formalin-fixed tissue paraffin-embedded sections using the immunoperoxidase method.
