چکیده
Using a commercially available test for LDL cholesterol (Boehringer Mannheim), a method was developed for determination of LDL apolipoprotein B without using ultracentrifugation. The infranatant obtained by precipitation of serum with polyvinylsulphate was redissolved in a saline citrate solution and incubated with phospholipase A2, phospholipase C, phospholipase D or triglyceride lipase, respectively. When the saline-citrate redissolved precipitate was monitored by electron microscopy, it appeared as a fibriform network. The additional incubation with phospholipase A2, C, D, or triglyceride lipase resulted in a molecularization of LDL particles. By electron microscopy these particles could not be distinguished from LDL particles isolated by ultracentrifugation. In radial immunodiffusion tests, the additional incubation of the redissolved precipitate with phospholipase C or phospholipase D resulted in a total loss of the slight immunoreactivity observed before phospholipase incubation. However, additional incubation with triglyceride lipase resulted in a significant increase in immunoreactivity. Only the additional incubation of the redissolved precipitate with phospholipase A2 resulted in an immunoprecipitation reaction comparable to that with LDL particles isolated by ultracentrifugation. Using a resolubilized and phospholipase A2-incubated precipitate of a pool serum as apolipoprotein B standard, a good correlation was obtained between apolipoprotein B values measured in this dissolved precipitate and those measured in the d greater than 1.006 kg/l fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation (r = 0.95; y = 0.95x + 0.018; n = 44).

VLDL apolipoprotein B determination in blood serum following precipitation of LDL with polyvinylsulphate.
A method is described for the determination of VLDL apolipoprotein B by radial immunodiffusion (RID) in serum supernatants following precipitation of LDL with polyvinylsulphate. The measurement of VLDL apolipoprotein B is based on the incubation of the polyvinylsulphate supernatant with triglyceride lipase (330 kU/l end concentration) for 12-24 hours at 37 degrees C. A good measure of agreement...
متن کاملThe association between small dense low density lipoprotein,apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 ratio and coronary artery stenosis
Abstract Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...
متن کاملLC-MS/MS Analysis of Canine Lipoproteins Fractionated Using the Ultracentrifugation-Precipitation Method
Due to the lack of a gold standard method in canine lipoprotein analysis, it is unclear whether canine high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) can be accurately evaluated by the lipoprotein analysis methods used for dogs. This study investigated whether the ultracentrifugation-precipitation (U-P) method was suitable as a gold standard method for analyzing canine lipopro...
متن کاملComparison of methods for measurement of apolipoprotein B and cholesterol in low-density lipoproteins.
We describe a new method for the direct measurement of LDL-apolipoprotein (apo) B by using a commercial kit that isolates LDL by immunoseparation. We evaluated immunoseparation of LDL for apo B and cholesterol measurement in 46 dyslipidemic patients with LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) between 1.5 and 8.2 mmol/L, 11 of whom had plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations >4.0 mmol/L. There was a reasonable...
متن کاملIsopropanol precipitation method for the determination of apolipoprotein B specific activity and plasma concentrations during metabolic studies of very low density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein apolipoprotein B.
A method has been described for the measurement of apoB concentration and specific activity in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) during metabolic studies. For measurement of specific activity, apoB was separated from other apolipoproteins and lipids by precipitation in, and subsequent washing with, isopropanol. For determination of apoB concentration, equal v...
