Selective isolation of human plasma low-density lipoprotein particles containing apolipoproteins B and E by use of a monoclonal antibody to apolipoprotein B. 1987

E Koren, and P Alaupovic, and D M Lee, and N Dashti, and H U Kloer, and G Wen

A monoclonal antibody to human plasma apolipoprotein B was used in a single-step immunoaffinity chromatography procedure to isolate a subpopulation of low-density lipoprotein particles from normolipidemic human plasma. The isolated particles were homogeneous in terms of size (20 nm), flotation coefficient (Sf = 9.5), and electrophoretic mobility (beta band). Their protein moiety consisted of apolipoproteins B and E in a molar ratio close to 2. The lipid moiety consisted of 47.3% cholesterol, 4.7% triglycerides, and 48.0% phospholipids. To indicate its characteristic apolipoprotein composition and hydrated density properties, this family of particles was named LP-B:EL2. In most normolipidemic subjects, LP-B:EL2 particles accounted for less than 10% of the total plasma apolipoprotein B content. The LP-B:EL2 particles bound to the membranes of the human hepatoma HepG2 cells in a specific and saturable manner indicative of receptor-mediated binding. Their binding was significantly higher than that of low-density lipoprotein particles containing only apolipoprotein B.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D011973 Receptors, LDL Receptors on the plasma membrane of nonhepatic cells that specifically bind LDL. The receptors are localized in specialized regions called coated pits. Hypercholesteremia is caused by an allelic genetic defect of three types: 1, receptors do not bind to LDL; 2, there is reduced binding of LDL; and 3, there is normal binding but no internalization of LDL. In consequence, entry of cholesterol esters into the cell is impaired and the intracellular feedback by cholesterol on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is lacking.

D001055 Apolipoproteins B Major structural proteins of triacylglycerol-rich LIPOPROTEINS. There are two forms, apolipoprotein B-100 and apolipoprotein B-48, both derived from a single gene. ApoB-100 expressed in the liver is found in low-density lipoproteins (LIPOPROTEINS, LDL; LIPOPROTEINS, VLDL). ApoB-48 expressed in the intestine is found in CHYLOMICRONS. They are important in the biosynthesis, transport, and metabolism of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins. Plasma Apo-B levels are high in atherosclerotic patients but non-detectable in ABETALIPOPROTEINEMIA. Apo-B,Apo B,ApoB,Apoprotein (B),Apoproteins B
