title: Early kinetics of human macrophage apolipoprotein E synthesis and incorporation of carbohydrate precursors.
abstract: Apolipoprotein E was detected in human macrophage lysates after 4-120-min pulses with [35S]methionine. Significant levels of apolipoprotein E were not found in the media until 120 min. Incorporation of N-[3H]acetylmannosamine, a sialic acid precursor, into apolipoprotein E was measurable after 120 min, whereas no [3H]mannose incorporation could be observed. These methods will be useful for examining the regulation of apolipoprotein E secretion and carbohydrate processing.
