This study presents a straightforward method for apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism screening using isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting. The technique is effective even with samples stored for up to 15 years, offering a reliable diagnostic tool.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism is crucial for understanding lipid metabolism and disease risk.
  • Accurate and accessible methods for APOE genotyping are essential for population screening and clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, reliable method for screening populations for apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism.
  • To combine established techniques for improved efficiency and applicability.

Main Methods:

  • Isoelectric focusing of delipidated samples on polyacrylamide gels (pH 4.5-5.8).
  • Immunoblotting utilizing a double-antibody technique.
  • Synthesis of two previously published procedures.

Main Results:
