Abstract

This paper presents data on a human allotypic polymorphism carried on a low density lipoprotein (As-LDL). The As polymorphism was investigated by a rabbit antiserum which was firstly used to analyze the serum level and the isoelectric point of the As lipoprotein in sera of different phenotype. This antiserum was also used to purify As-LDL by immunochromatography. Afterwards the peptidic maps of the APO proteins from different As-LDL were compared. While no correlation did result between the serum level and the serological phenotype of the As lipoprotein, the peptidic distribution of the APO parts from different As-LDL showed differences correlated to the allotypic phenotype.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

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.
