Protease‐sensitive regions in amyloid light chains: what a common pattern of fragmentation across organs suggests about aggregation
5 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of immunoglobulin light chains (LC) as fibrils in target organs. Alongside the full-length protein, abundant LC fragments are always present in AL deposits. Herein, by combining gel-based and mass spectrometry analyses, we identified and compared the fragmentation sites of amyloid LCs from multiple organs of an AL λ amyloidosis patient (AL-55). The...
