Using a sensitive, quantitative, and non-invasive in vivo method, based on the specific binding of serum amyloid P component to amyloid fibrils, we have directly documented the spontaneous resolution of AA amyloid deposits in mice, and the prolonged existence thereafter of a primed state of enhanced susceptibility to further amyloid deposition. These results may have important implications for understanding and management of amyloidosis in humans.
我们采用了一种基于血清淀粉样蛋白P成分与淀粉样纤维特异性结合的灵敏、定量且非侵入性的体内方法,直接记录了小鼠体内AA淀粉样沉积物的自发消退,以及此后对进一步淀粉样沉积易感性增强的预激发状态的长期存在。这些结果可能对理解和治疗人类淀粉样变性具有重要意义。
