Lp(a) phenotyping by immunoblotting with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.

چکیده
A new method that allows rapid phenotyping of genetic Lp(a) glycoprotein types in large numbers of samples is described. The method is based on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of reduced serum or plasma in horizontal slab gels followed by immunoblotting with polyclonal anti-Lp(a) lipoprotein or monoclonal anti-Lp(a) glycoprotein antibodies. Phenotyping of 194 unrelated, healthy subjects resulted in Lp(a) allele frequencies of Lp(a)B = 0.013, Lp(a)S1 = 0.032, Lp(a)S2 = 0.106, Lp(a)S3 = 0.096, Lp(a)S4 = 0.156, and Lp(a)O = 0.600, and confirmed the recently recognized association of Lp(a) glycoprotein phenotype with Lp(a) lipoprotein concentration. The new procedure is suitable for large-scale population, genetic, and epidemiologic studies and may be important for atherosclerotic risk assessment.

Effect of the number of apolipoprotein(a) kringle 4 domains on immunochemical measurements of lipoprotein(a).
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been measured in numerous clinical and epidemiological studies by a variety of immunochemical methods. However, little, if any, consideration has been given to the confounding effect of the size heterogeneity of apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] on the measurement of Lp(a). We developed three direct-binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) with detecting antibodie...
متن کاملUse of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to detect prostatic acid phosphatase by immunoblotting.
We investigated two techniques of immunoblotting--the Western blot and the dot blot--for use in detecting prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP, EC 3.1.3.2). We used polyclonal antisera to human PAP, produced in rabbits by hyperimmunization with purified PAP, and PAP-specific monoclonal antibodies in the immunoenzymatic protocols. We conclude that PAP can be readily detected by Western blots with use...

Background: The unique expression of fibromodulin (FMOD) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been previously reported. Detecting FMOD in CLL patients using specific anti-FMOD mAbs might provide a promising method in detection, monitoring, and prognosis of CLL. Objectives: In this study, we aimed for producing specific antibodies agains...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies
SUMMARY Monoclonal Antibodies are identical antibodies and Can be generated in ultimated amounts by countinuos cultures of single antibody- secreting cells. These cell lines are produced by cell fusion of normal lymphocytes to cells of a myeloma tumor cell line, which confers on the antibody producing hybrid cell, immortality and the ability grow as atumor in animals. monoclonal antibodies c...
متن کاملCharacterization of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to bovine enteric coronavirus: establishment of an efficient ELISA for antigen detection in feces.
Monoclonal antibodies to bovine enteric coronavirus (BEC) were produced. Additionally, polyclonal antibodies were made in rabbits and guinea pigs and extracted from the yolk of immunized hens. The antibodies were characterized by neutralization test, hemagglutination inhibition test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting. Neutralizing antibody titers of polyclonal antiser...
