Abstract excerpt
Serum amyloid A (SAA), the serum precursor of the fibrillar component (AA proteins) in reactive amyloid deposits, is a multigene product. SAA1, the prominent acute phase isotype in serum and also the dominant fibril precursor, has several allelic variants. In Japan, each of the three major alleles (1.1, 1.3 and 1.5) appears with approximately equal frequency. Recent research suggested that allele 1.5 has a...
