## Abstract β‐Amyloid (Aβ) peptide is believed to play a key role in the mechanism of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ tends to aggregate to form amyloid fibrils. A variety of evidence indicates that Aβ aggregates are toxic in vitro and in vivo. An early “Aβ hypothesis” postulated that AD was the conse
## Background: Systemic amyloidosis occurs as a result of amyloid deposition in various tissues. the amyloid fibrils in systemic amyloidosis have been reported to originate from immunoglobulin light chains. ## Objective: We studied the composition of amyloid fibrils from two patients with plasma
