Idiopathic amyloidosis in the stone marten (Martes foina): identification of amyloid fibril proteins in tissue sections using the immunoperoxidase technique.
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.
