Exclusion of pre-beta lipoproteins from agarose gel electrophoresis in the presence of chylomicrons.
Chylomicrons present in the fasting serum of patients with type V hyperlipoproteinaemia have been found to exclude pre-beta lipoproteins from entering into agarose gel during lipoprotein electrophoresis. It is recommended that when chylomicrons are present they be removed prior to diagnostic and quantitative lipoprotein electrophoresis in agarose gel.
