Immunohistochemical characterization of spontaneous amyloidosis in captive birds as AA-type, using monoclonal and polyclonal anti-AA antibodies against mammalian amyloid

Abstract

Spontaneous amyloid diagnosed by means of Congo red and polarization microscopy in 3 flamingos, 1 crowned crane, 1 red-breasted goose, and 1 common golden-eye was studied using immunohistochemical techniques. The avian amyloid cross-reacted with a number of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-AA antibodies directed against mammalian amyloid fibril proteins. This confirmed that both "secondary" and "idiopathic" avian amyloid is of the AA-type. The results demonstrate the possibility to successfully using cross-reactive anti-AA antibodies for the diagnosis of non-mammalian amyloidosis.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
