For the immunohistochemical detection of immunoglobulin (lg) light chain amyloidosis on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, we prepared polyclonal antibodies against synthetic peptides corresponding to positions 118-134 of Ig lambda light chain and positions 116-133 of Ig kappa light chain. Nineteen cases of systemic Ig lambda light chain amyloidosis (A lambda amyloldosis), 10 cases of systemic lg kappa light chain amyloidosis (A kappa amyloidosis), one case of immunohistochemically unclassified systemic amyloidosis and five cases of localized A lambda amyloidosis were tested with these antibodies, Anti-lambda (118-134) antiserum and the affinity-purified antibody both reacted with 18 of the 19 cases of systemic A lambda amyloidosis and all cases of localized A lambda amyloidosis, although the immunoexpression was somewhat variable in intensity in different areas within the same specimen in both systemic and localized amyloidosis. The signal intensities in plasma cells and serum reacted for anti-lambda (118-134) antiserum were weaker than signals obtained with commercially available anti-lg lambda light chain antibodies, Anti-kappa (116-133) antiserum and the affinity-purified antibody reacted with nine of the 10 cases of systemic A kappa amyloidosis, We conclude that these antibodies against synthetic peptides corresponding to the lg light chain constant region are useful for the classification of amyloidosis on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
