Figure 1 Renal histology of LECT2 amyloidosis. (a) Renal biopsy from a patient with LECT2 amyloidosis, showing amyloid deposits in glomeruli, blood vessel walls, and tubular interstitium. (Congo red stain; original magnification, ×100.) (b) Same section as in panel a, viewed between cross-polars, showing characteristic green birefringence of amyloid. (c) Immunohistochemical staining of renal biopsy in panel a, stained with anti-LECT2 antibody by an antigen retrieval technique at pH2. It should be noted that although immunohistochemistry for LECT2 was originally described for sections from frozen tissue, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue may require antigen retrieval techniques to give positive staining.
