Histochemistry of the amyloid substance from familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy.
The histochemical properties of the amyloid substance from familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) were studied. The results showed differences among the FAP amyloid and the others amyloid substance. The main difference being that FAP amyloid substance was free of or only contain a small amount of protein. It contains acid and neutral glycidic substances, constituting its major part.
