Abstract
In rare multiple sclerosis cases amyloid is deposited in demyelinated plaqu es. In one such case amyloid was examined immunohistochemically with a pane l of antibodies directed against different amyloid types. The amyloid was c lassified as the A lambda type produced by a local monoclonal B cell popula tion.
