Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for human apolipoprotein C-III. 1985

J Bury, and M Rosseneu

A sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for apolipoprotein C-III was developed. Anti apolipoprotein C-III immunoglobulins were used both for coating of microtitre plates and for the preparation of an anti apolipoprotein C-III horse-radish peroxidase conjugate. Under optimized assay conditions, the sensitivity lies around 0.3 ng apolipoprotein C-III with a working range of 1 to 6 ng. Standard curves are parallel for purified apolipoprotein C-III, for untreated plasma and for lipoprotein fractions. Delipidation did not affect the content of apolipoprotein C-III in plasma. The assay was evaluated by comparison with an immunonephelometric assay for apolipoprotein C-III, yielding a correlation coefficient of 0.982 (n = 79). The mean intra- and interassay CV for the whole working range of the assay were 3.6% and 4.2% respectively.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008074	Lipoproteins	Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes.	Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D002784	Cholesterol	The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils.	Epicholesterol
D004797	Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay	An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D001056	Apolipoproteins C	A group of apolipoproteins that can readily exchange among the various classes of lipoproteins (HDL; VLDL; CHYLOMICRONS). After lipolysis of TRIGLYCERIDES on VLDL and chylomicrons, Apo-C proteins are normally transferred to HDL. The subtypes can modulate remnant binding to receptors, LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE, or LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE.	Apo-C,Apo C,ApoC,Apoprotein (C),Apoproteins C

D053305	Apolipoprotein C-III	A 9-kDa protein component of VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS and CHYLOMICRON REMNANTS. Apo C-III, synthesized in the liver, is an inhibitor of LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE. Apo C-III modulates the binding of chylomicron remnants and VLDL to receptors (RECEPTORS, LDL) thus decreases the uptake of triglyceride-rich particles by the liver cells and subsequent degradation. The normal Apo C-III is glycosylated. There are several polymorphic forms with varying amounts of SIALIC ACID (Apo C-III-0, Apo C-III-1, and Apo C-III-2).
