Bovine AA amyloidosis is the most frequently encountered amyloid type in cattle, and it is characterized by an extracellular deposition of pathological amyloid A (AA) protein. Because of the lack of a specific monoclonal antibody (mAbs) against bovine amyloid A (bAA) protein and its precursor, bovine serum amyloid A1 (bSAA1), at present anti-bAA rabbit antiserum and anti-human AA or SAA mAbs are widely used for diagnosis and analysis of bovine AA amyloidosis. In this study, three specific mAbs against bSAA1 were isolated by immunization using synthetic peptides of bSAA1, and these mAbs showed higher detection ability and specificity to bAA and bSAA1 than rabbit antiserum and anti-human AA or SAA mAbs in Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. These novel mAbs will be valuable in the development of a more precise immunochemical diagnostic tool for bovine AA amyloidosis, as well as for studying the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in this disease.

We report an instantaneous room-temperature phase separation of 1 mM bovine serum albumin solution in the presence of (20% acetic acid+0.2 M NaCl), a routinely used food preservative; an opaque liquid-like phase (L) coexists in equilibrium with a granular gel like phase (G). Interestingly, neither 20% acetic acid nor 0.

Purpose: Indocyanine green (ICG) is an albumin and lipoprotein binding dye absorbing in the far red used in angiography to visualize choroidal vessels (ICG angiography [ICGA]). To guide interpretation, ICG transport in the choroid, RPE, and retina of rats was studied.
Methods: Two conditions were used: RPE/choroid organoculture, incubated for 45 minutes in DMEM medium, 1% fetal bovine serum containing 0.

Background: The specificity of protein functions depends on its folding ability into a functional structure. Protein folding is an essential systemic phenomenon that prevents incorrect folding which could result in harmful aggregation. This harmful aggregation of proteins causes neurodegenerative diseases and systemic amyloidosis.

Amyloid fibrils are self-assembled aggregates of proteins and peptides that can lead to a broad range of diseases called amyloidosis. So far, no definitive and approved treatment to target directly amyloid fibrils has been introduced. Nevertheless, the search for small molecules with ability to inhibit and suppress fibril formation is an active and promising area of the research.

In the current study, we first established that chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) have significant anti-fibrillogenic and fibril-destabilising effects on bovine insulin in vitro that proportionally expand with concentration growth. The obtained data were supported by the Thioflavin T (ThT) assay, circular dichroism (CD), attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Interestingly, coincubation of insulin with COS in the ratio of 1 to 10 over 48 h at 37 °C leads to full prevention of insulin aggregation, and in the case of preformed fibrils, results in their destabilisation and disaggregation.
