摘要:
Methods are disclosed which separate and identify lipoproteins in biological samples. An ultracentrifuge density gradient is used to separate lipoprotein fractions. The fractions are visualized, resulting in a lipoprotein profile. The fractions can be further analyzed by a wide array of laboratory and clinical methods. The lipoprotein profile can be used in clinical diagnoses and other medical applications.
摘要:
Methods of forming a density gradient by applying a centrifugal field to a solution of one or more metal ion chelate complexes are disclosed. The density gradients are self-forming equilibrium gradients and are useful for separating biological particles by ultracentrifugation. Also disclosed are methods of separating biological particles according to their density. Also disclosed are density gradients of lipoprotein particles and one or more metal ion chelate complexes, wherein the lipoprotein particles are partitioned along the density gradient according to their particle density.
摘要:
Novel isoforms of apolipoprotein C-I (apoC-I), namely apolipoprotein C-I1 (apoC-I1) and apolipoprotein C-I1′ (apoC-I1′), both of which have a molecular weight of approximately 90 daltons greater than native apolipoprotein C-I (SEQ ID NO:6) and native apolipoprotein C-I′ (SEQ ID NO:7), are shown to be both biomarkers for diagnosing atherosclerotic disease as well as risk factors for subjects having increased risk of developing an atherosclerotic disease.
