Abstract excerpt
Inbred strains of mice display different susceptibilities to experimental induction of reactive amyloidosis. CBA/J, C57BL/6, and ICR are among the most susceptible strains, while CE/J mice appear to be totally resistant. In contrast to amyloidogenic strains which express two major acute phase serum amyloid A proteins (SAA1 and SAA2), CE/J mice produce only a single isoform, designated SAA2.2. Studies indicate...
