title: Evidence that a separate particle containing B-apoprotein is present in high-density lipoproteins from perfused rat liver.
abstract: High-density lipoproteins (HDL) (1.075 less than d less than 1.175) from perfusates of rat liver, unlike those of blood plasma, contain protein with the properties of B-apolipoprotein. This protein remains near the origin upon electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate, has beta electrophoretic mobility in agarose gel, is insoluble in tetramethylurea, and precipitates with antisera to the B-apoprotein isolated from low-density lipoprotein. B-apolipoprotein in HDL from perfusates binds to concanavalin-A Sepharose and can thus be separated from the characteristic HDL, the chemical and physical properties of which are otherwise preserved. These observations suggest that in addition to the discoidal lipoproteins, another particle that contains B-apoprotein exists in HDL of perfusates.
