Amyloidosis in a case of canine systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract:
Concurrent systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and amyloidosis (renal and splenic) are reported in a 7-year-old female miniature Schnauzer. Treatment of tissue sections with potassium permanganate and dilute sulphuric acid prior to staining with Congo red indicated that the amyloid in this case is composed of AA protein (i.e. reactive systemic amyloid or so-called secondary amyloid). The rare association of amyloidosis and SLE, in both man and the dog, and the association with granulomatous pneumonia and leukopenia in this case are discussed.

03:03Amyloid Fibrils
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins. Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils.
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining, normally used to...
