Amyloid P component is present in cultured human smooth muscle cells but not in cultured skin fibroblasts.
Amyloid P component deposition was detected by immunofluorescence with monospecific antibodies to human serum amyloid P in primary cell cultures of human smooth muscle cells isolated from blood vessels and gastric wall. Deposition was not detected in cultures of human skin fibroblasts.
