Determination of B protein of low density lipoprotein directly in plasma.
Quantitation of the apoprotein constituents of lipoproteins has extended our knowledge of plasma lipid transport. Previously, B protein content of low density lipoprotein could be measured by radial immunodiffusion only after ultracentrifugation. However, if performed in 1.5% agarose gel with standards and measured at 18 hr rather than at equilibrium, low density lipoprotein B protein can be measured directly in plasma, eliminating the need to separate very low density lipoprotein.
