Abstract

In an attempt to subfractionate apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins (apoB-Lp), agarose isoelectric focusing (IEF) of apoB-Lp in human sera was carried out in the presence of two kinds of cyclodextrins (CDs), which have different affinities for cholesterol. ApoB-Lp in the agarose gels was detected by immunofixation, followed by protein staining. In the presence of both 11.4 mg/mL alpha-CD and 3.51 mg/mL beta-CD, but not either one alone, IEF separated a maximum of six apoB-Lp bands. Electrophoresis failed to separate the apoB-Lp subfractions under similar conditions with CDs. The patterns of apoB-Lp in IEF with the CDs appeared to differ in some sera. Since the subfractions of apoB-Lp can be separated without ultracentrifugation of serum, the present method serves for the screening of apoB-Lp heterogeneity on native serum lipoproteins.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
