Lp (a) blood types. Comparison of immunological testing with results of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
The results of serum beta-lipoproteins typing of 100 random human sera for Lp (a) antigen by the standard immunological method were compared with those of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis which may detect an Lp (a) band migrating more slowly than the bulk of LDL. This band was found in all the 33 Lp (a+) but also in 9 of the 67 Lp (a-) sera examined.
