title: [Scanning electron microscopy studies in the detection of apo-B,E receptor activity of the lymphocyte membrane for diagnostic verification of genetically determined disorders of lipid metabolism].
abstract: We present a scanning electron microscopic method for determining the quantity of the apo B,E-receptors at the surface of lymphocytes. We used human lymphocytes from venous blood. Gold particles, 50 nm in diameter, were conjugated to the receptors by indirect coupling. We visualized the gold particles by means of an electron microscope (JEM 100 S with scanning attachment ASID). The lymphocytes of control persons and of patients with primary hyperlipoproteinaemias were analysed. Scanning electron microscopic assay of labelled apo-B,E-receptors was shown to allow the rapid and accurate identification of patients with autosomal monogenic hypercholesterolaemia.
