Amyloid fibrils were isolated from amyloid-laden tissue obtained from a chronic hemodialysis patient with carpal tunnel syndrome. After solubilization in guanidine HCl, a significant amount of the protein was located in a homogeneous low MW fraction. The protein was found to be identical to .beta.2-microglobulin, with regard to its MW of 11,000, amino acid composition and 16 amino-terminal amino acids: Ile-Gln-Arg-Thr-Pro-Lys-Ile-Gln-Val-Tyr-Ser-Arg-His-Pro-Ala-Glu-. Apparently the amyloid associated with chronic hemodialysis contains as a major component a new form of amyloid fibril protein that is homologous to .beta.2-microglobulin.
