title: Detection of human serum amyloid A protein in very low density--and high density lipoproteins of patients after acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: Two acute-phase proteins have been identified in very low density (VLDL)- and high density lipoproteins (HDL) of patients after acute myocardial infarction. Both proteins have a relative molecular weight of 11,000 and isoelectric points pI 6.08 and 6.27, and do not contain cysteine or sugar residues. Polyclonal antibodies to these acute phase reactants did not cross-react with other serum apolipoproteins. Evidence is given that both proteins are polymorphic forms of the human serum amyloid A protein.
