title: Competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitation of apolipoprotein A-I using a monoclonal antibody.
abstract: A semi-automated competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for human plasma apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I has been developed which utilizes nondelipidated samples, microtiter plates, commercially available monoclonal antibodies and alkaline phosphatase conjugated second antibody. The working range of the assay is 5-100 ng of Apo A-I. The range of plasma concentrations for plasma Apo A-I was 1.21 +/- 0.34 g/l for a random sample of 40 healthy adults. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CV) were 4 and 7%, respectively. There was a good correlation between this assay and a radial immunodiffusion assay (r = 0.96). The assay is suitable for measurement of apolipoprotein A-I in either normal or pathological plasma, lipoprotein density classes, and for cell biological and molecular biological investigations.
