Amyloid Substance

Material amyloid (or amyloid) is an abnormal protein substance deposited between the cells of many tissues and organs in dferentes clinical situation. Electron microscopy showed amyloid fibrils as arborescent limited length and a width of approximately 7.5 to 10 nm. These fibrils may occur singly, in groups fasikula lateral or woven mesh. The X-ray and infrared spectroscopy cristografía shows a picture of the characteristics of the so-called "shaping" ß.

 We have identified two main chemical classes of amyloid substance: the first is called immunoglobulin light chain AL (amyloid light chain), the second consists of non-immunoglobulin protein AA (amyloid-related protein). This protein is different antigens and stored in different clinical circumstances.
