Amyloid proteins are proteic groups that comprise a superfamily of apolipoproteins, highly conserved in vertebrates, being involved in the modulation of numerous immune responses during infections, injuries or stress. In this study, the yellow clam Amarilladesma mactroides was used as an invertebrate model in the search for amyloid protein deposits in their tissues. Adult specimens of this bivalve were collected from the beach and transported to the Laboratory of Immunology and Pathology of Aquatic Organisms - LIPOA at the Federal University of Rio Grande – FURG. Their tissues were sectioned and stained either with Hematoxylin and Eosin, and examined using light microscopy, or with Congo Red and analyzed under polarized light microscopy. Congo Red stain revealed the presence of amyloid proteins in the foot and digestive glands of the yellow clam. The techniques used proved to be appropriate for this species and evidenced a complementary role of amyloid proteins in the immune response, indicating that they are useful as a marker for the innate immune system and health of invertebrates. The ability to assess the immunological condition can provide information related to the cultivation of emerging species for aquaculture.
