title: Microheterogeneity of apolipoprotein D as revealed by electroblotting following isoelectric focusing in Immobiline DryPlates.
abstract: The microheterogeneity of apolipoprotein D was examined by a procedure involving, in sequences: (i) electrophoresis in an immobilized pH 4-7 gradient in an Immobiline DryPlate-polyacrylamide gel supplemented with Ampholine pH 5-7, (ii) covering of the gel with sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing agarose, (iii) electroblotting onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane and (iv) immunological identification. Seven isoforms were obtained with partially purified apolipoprotein D. Using this technique the apparent pI values at 15 degrees C for the isoforms were 4.57, 4.67, 4.78, 4.83 and 5.95, 6.06 and 6.19 (SD +/- 0.05 for all). Direct staining of the Immobiline DryPlate could not reveal the isoforms of partially purified apolipoprotein D.
