We studied the histochemical properties of β2-MG amyloid fibrils using glycoprotein, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and/or proteoglycan detection methods. A large amount of glycoprotein was noticed in β2-MG amyloid fibrils. GAGs and/or proteoglycans were detected only around amyloid bundles or nodules, but not on amyloid fibrils themselves. These results suggest that the above histochemical characteristics may be related to amyloid formation.}, pages = {75--78}, title = {A Histochemical Study of Hemodialysis Related Amyloidosis}, volume = {39(Supplement)}, year = {1991} }
