title: [A method of rapid determination of cholesterol in immune complexes].
abstract: A method of rapid determination of cholesterol in immune complexes (CIC). In the proposed method precipitate immune complexes containing multiple modified low density lipoproteins from human serum are prepared by treatment with a buffer containing 8.3 PEC 3350, and 3.3% PVP 12600, in a ratio of 1:1.2, incubated for 10 min at room temperature. The precipitate containing the CIC is separated by centrifugation at 3100 g for 5 min at 23 degrees C, dissolved in a buffer without PEG and PVP, the cholesterol is determined using an enzymatic kit and at a level of CIC more than 8.3 mg/dl ascertain higher level. The method improves the accuracy of the quantitative determination of CIC, conduct extensive screening tests to detect atherosclerosis as the pre-clinical stage and monitor the effectiveness of the therapy.
