Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the contribution of wild-type transthyretin (TTR) to amyloid polyneuropathy in TTR amyloidosis, we biochemically investigated amyloid fibrils isolated from sciatic nerve of an autopsied patient with TTR Ala25Ser variant and compared the amount of wild-type and variant TTR in the nerve to that in the heart. Amyloid subunit protein from isolated fibrils was solubilized in 6M guanidine HCl and purified...
