title: [Assay of serum apolipoprotein A-II by electro-immunodiffusion on ready-for-use plates. Clinical applications].
abstract: Few papers have been devoted to the study of apolipoprotein A-II (apo A-II), one of the major peptides contained in HDL, probably because of the methodological difficulties associated with its assay. The aim of this study is to provide the clinical biochemist with a simply easy to use assay technique. We have been able to demonstrate the practical value of apo A-II assay in hepatology and in the detection of excessive drinkers. On the other hand, our results indicate that apo A-II is not a parameter of choice for the detection of coronary atherosclerosis.
