Detection by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the human serum amyloid A protein in inflammatory sera

Abstract
Human serum amyloid A protein in inflammatory sera is easily identified by simple protein staining after sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as the lowest molecular weight detected proteic band. Western blotting followed by immunoblot has been used to demonstrate this result. By contrast, serum amyloid A protein is not detectable by these combined techniques in normal sera.
