Abstract excerpt

We have identified a hitherto unknown polymorphism of serum amyloid A protein (SAA) in the pooled serum of nonamyloidotic inflammatory patients. The molecular weight of the novel SAA determined by ion-spray mass spectrometry appeared 28 amu lower in mass than the known SAA1 subsets, indicating that the substitution of a valine residue by an alanine was present. Further analyses by the combination of liquid...
