Transthyretin and Amyloid in the Islets of Langerhans in Type-2 Diabetes
Figure 5
In (a) is shown an islet from a type-2 diabetic individual. There
is pronounced IAPP amyloid infiltration, weakly labeled with
antibodies against TTR. (b) shows a small islet in a nondiabetic
individual with familial TTR-amyloidosis. There are heavy deposits
of TTR-amyloid outside the islet but no islet amyloid. A = amyloid.
Immunolabeled with antiserum against TTR.
