Electron-microscopic characteristics of amyloid resorption

In experiments on CBA mice, in which an amyloid spleen was transplated beneath the capsule of the kidney in intact and amyloid mice, an electron-microscopic investigation was made of amyloid resorption. The results indicated that macrophages, performing the function of amyloidoclasts, participate in amyloid resorption. The dynamics of amyloidoclasia was studied.
