    Abstract

    Amyloid fibrils were extracted from deposits in joint tissue of heavy breed layers with spontaneous amyloid arthropathy and characterized as being of the AA-type. Amino acid sequencing revealed a pattern quite similar to duck AA. Acute phase sera of chicken experimentally injected with Enterococcus faecalis showed a SAA-protein like band cross reacting with anti-chicken AA in immunoblot.
