formic acid and Amyloidosis

formic acid has been researched along with Amyloidosis in 3 studies

formic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd
formic acid : The simplest carboxylic acid, containing a single carbon. Occurs naturally in various sources including the venom of bee and ant stings, and is a useful organic synthetic reagent. Principally used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. Induces severe metabolic acidosis and ocular injury in human subjects.

Amyloidosis: A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition of AMYLOID. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We report the results of formic acid extraction and immunochemical and biochemical characterization of deposits informalin-fixed tissue samples from 10 cases of amyloidosis and 3 from nonamyloid monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain deposition disease."3.72Biochemical subtyping of amyloid in formalin-fixed tissue samples confirms and supplements immunohistologic data. ( Gallo, GR; Kaplan, B; Livneh, A; Martin, BM; Pras, M, 2004)
"This formic acid pretreatment enhanced immunoreactivity of the amyloid deposits which reacted positively with specific antiserum."1.27Formic acid pretreatment enhances immunostaining of cerebral and systemic amyloids. ( Kitamoto, T; Ogomori, K; Prusiner, SB; Tateishi, J, 1987)
