A includes a group of diseases with a variety of clinical features characterized by the extracellular deposition of a proteinaceous, amorphous, and eosinophilic material in the various tissues of the body. Common to all amyloid deposits is the presence of a fibrillar structure; these fibrils are responsible for the Congo red staining, dichroism, and green polarization color by which amyloid deposits are identified histologically. The resistance to proteolytic digestion of amyloid fibrils and their insolubility indicate that they are responsible for the destruction of vital tissues and multiple organ failure that leads to death from renal or cardiac failure.The purpose of this paper is to summarize the recent immunochemical and cellular aspects that support the notion that immunologic mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of amyloid disease. The implications of these studies are relevant to the genesis of amyloid fibrils and appear to open new approaches to the therapy of this often fatal disease. For a more complete discussion of the past research on amyloidosis and the clinical manifestations of this disease the reader is referred to other review papers.‘~-‘j
