  • Title: Similarity of casein- and endotoxin-induced, myeloma- associated and aged SJL/J amyloid in various strains of mice.
    Author: Baumal R.
    Journal: Int Arch Allergy Appl Immunol; 1979; 59(1):20-7. PubMed ID: 87374.
    Abstract:
    Amyloidosis was induced in a number of strains of mice by repeated injections of casein and endotoxin. Spontaneous amyloid was obtained from Balb/C mice bearing a myeloma tumor (IgG2a producing MOPC 173 tumor) and from aged SJL/J mice. Both the induced and spontaneous forms were similar in their size, immunological reactivity, peptide maps and in the susceptibility of histological sections to oxidizing agents with or without trypsin digestion. Since case-induced murine amyloid resembles the nonimmunoglobulin from of human amyloid, it is concluded that an immunoglobulin form in mice has yet to be characterized.
