title: Quantitation of apolipoprotein C-III in normal and in hyperlipaemic serum samples by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
abstract: A specific and sensitive Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative determination of apolipoprotein C-III, a major apolipoprotein of human very low density lipoproteins is described. The assay is non-competitive and it uses the same affinity isolated sheep antibody both for coating the wells and as conjugate with alkaline phosphatase. Total serum apo C-III was determined in a normal population of 24 men and 21 women. The difference was not statistically significant. In both sexes apo C-III concentration correlated positively with the serum triglyceride levels. In patients with hyperlipoproteinemia, apo C-III levels were increased.
