[Isolation and quantitative determination of apoprotein C-11 in the blood using rocket immunoelectrophoresis]

Apoprotein C-II was isolated from human blood plasma by means of column chromatography-gel filtration and DEAE ion exchange chromatography by modified method of Brown et al (1969). Production of antiserum to apoprotein C-II as well as a procedure for rocket immunoelectrophoresis are described for estimation of the apoprotein in blood plasma of men and women of various age, exhibiting different lipid spectra. Content of the apoprotein C-II in blood plasma, estimated by the immunoelectrophoretic procedure, was higher in men as compared with women and correlated with concentration of triglycerides in blood plasma.
