We tested a wide range of human tissues and didn't observe unspecific staining in most cell types. Positive Amytracker staining was obtained in Paneth cell granules in the intestine stained and the binding target in these cells is yet unclear. Due to the high sensitivity of Amytracker towards amyloids, and its ability to detect Congo Red negative and non-thioflavinic assemblies, Amytracker might serve as an interesting tool to study functional amyloids in different species.
Does Amytracker bind unspecifically?
