Apolipoprotein Al, All, and AIV Isoforms in Plasma Determined by Automated Isoelectric Focusing with PhastSystemTMand Immu not ixation

چکیده
Distinct genetic variants of apolipoprotein (apo) Al have been shown to influence concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The genetic polymorphism of apo AIV may modulate HDL-cholesterol, plasma triglycerides, and lipoprotein(a) concentrations. There is evidence for an antagonizing role of apo All in reverse cholesterol transport. Since genetic polymorphisms and variants of these apolipoproteins are detectable by isoelectric focusing (IEF), we developed a rapid and easy automated method for IEF analysis of apos Al, All, and AIV on self-made or commercially available gels, using the PhastSystem”. Diluted plasma or serum samples (1 pL) are applied automatically onto the gel and IEF is carried out for 35-45 mm. Afterwards, the apo A bands are precipitated by specific polyclonal antibodies and visualized by automated silver staining. This rapid procedure is suitable as a routine or screening method for IEF analysis of these major HDL apolipoproteins.

Apolipoprotein A-IV polymorphism and its effect on plasma lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations.
Recently, we determined the apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotype distribution in 2,000 randomly selected 35-year-old male individuals by slab gel isoelectric focusing of delipidated plasma samples, followed by immunoblotting using anti-apoE antiserum. These blots have been successfully re-used for immunovisualization of apoA-IV isoelectric focusing patterns. In a population sample of 1,393 individ...

We have studied the plasma lipid and apolipoprotein profiles of 19 patients with intestinal failure who are receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN). These patients had significantly reduced levels of total and HDL cholesterol and normal levels of triglycerides. Radioimmunoassay determination of apolipoproteins showed a 30% and 50% reduction in apo A-I and A-II levels, respectively....
متن کاملCommon and rare genotypes of human apolipoprotein E determined by specific restriction profiles of polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA.
The three common isoforms of human apolipoprotein E (apo E) differ at positions 112 and 158 and are named E3, E4, and E2 according to phenotyping by isoelectric focusing (IEF). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method allows the detection of common and several rare allelic apo E variants not detected by IEF. We propose a genotyping procedure for apo E that characterizes a given allele on the ...

Different isoforms of apoE modulate the concentrations of plasma lipoproteins and the risk for atherosclerosis. A novel apoE isoform, apoE4Freiburg, was detected in plasma by isoelectric focusing because its isoelectric point is slightly more acidic than that of apoE4. ApoE4Freiburg results from a base exchange in the APOE4 gene that causes the replacement of a leucine by a proline at position ...
