Amyloidosis Sampling and Shipping Instructions

Amyloidosis – Sampling Instructions

Choose the one (or more) sample type(s) that best fits to your case and your level of participation. You are always welcome to call the laboratory (University of Milan in Europe; University of Missouri in the USA) to help you with the sample collection. We are most happy to discuss the procedures with your veterinarian. Your cat may provide special opportunities for sample collection, please do not hesitate to call us!

Please remember to put samples in separate containers.

Please remember to mark every tube or plastic bag with the name of the cat and the type of tissue

Send samples directly to the Lyons laboratory using this Submission Form

 

From living cats:     A) a blood sample in EDTA : 3 – 6 ml (1ml minimum)

And/or the gonads, if you decide to alter the cat.

Keep frozen until and during shipment

From deceased cats (both healthy and affected) – These samples can be collected during the necropsy, if performed

For Genomics     B) Frozen organs

  1. 25% of spleen, liver and kidney

FFPE (formalin fixed paraffin embedded) blocks can also be submitted. They are specimens used by the diagnostic labs to do the histopathologic analysis. If the pathologist needs to keep the specimen, we request to split the block and provide part of it. Keep at room temperature.
