Abstract
Amyloid fibrils were isolated from amyloid-laden tissue obtained from a chronic hemodialysis patient with carpal tunnel syndrome. After solubilization in guanidine HCl, a significant amount of the protein was located in a homogeneous low molecular weight fraction. The protein was found to be identical to beta 2-microglobulin, with regard to its molecular weight of 11,000, amino acid composition and 16 amino-terminal amino acids: Ile-Gln-Arg-Thr-Pro-Lys-Ile-Gln-Val-Tyr-Ser-Arg-His-Pro-Ala-Glu-. These results demonstrate that the amyloid associated with chronic hemodialysis contains as major component a new form of amyloid fibril protein that is homologous to beta 2-microglobulin.Entities:
