A fast and cheap precipitation method for the separation of HDL subclasses been evaluated. It starts with precipitation of apo-B containing lipoproteins with PEG-6000 after which HDL2 is precipitated with dextran sulphate-Mg2+. A concentration of 0.72 g/l dextran sulphate was found to be suitable for the separation of HDL subclasses. HDL subclasses obtained by precipitation gave proper density profiles at density gradient centrifugations. The correlations between results obtained by this method and by sequential and density gradient centrifugation are good, r = 0.99 and 0.72, respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

It has been used as an anticoagulant and also has been shown to inhibit the binding of HIV-1 to CD4-POSITIVE T-LYMPHOCYTES. It is commonly used as both an experimental and clinical laboratory reagent and has been investigated for use as an antiviral agent, in the treatment of hypolipidemia, and for the prevention of free radical damage, among other applications.
