Antigens Characteristic for Amyloid of Man and Rabbit

[摘要] Rabbit antisera to human amyloid tissue gave a positive indirect immunofluorescence test with sections of amyloid-containing organs. Absorption experiments indicated that antibodies to previously described amyloid-characteristic components participated in this test.Evidence was presented that the amyloid antigen described by Cathcart et al. is probably identical with the previously described lipoprotein component of amyloid-containing tissues.By means of guinea pig immune sera, a lipoprotein antigen was identified in amyloid-containing rabbit organs. An identical antigen was detected in normal rabbit serum but not in normal rabbit organs.
