Immunoturbidimetric assays of apolipoproteins A, AI, AII, and B in serum.

Abstract

In these immunoturbidimetric assays developed for apolipoproteins A, AI, AII, and B we used the Cobas-Bio centrifugal analyzer and commercially available antisera and calibrators. Within-day and within-run precision ranged from 1.0 to 5.8% for the four assays. The addition of bilirubin, up to 150 mg/L, or hemoglobin, 50 g/L, to sera did not interfere with the measurement of these apolipoproteins. Comparison of results of the immunoturbidimetric assays with those of radial immunodiffusion assays yielded slopes of 1.002, 0.822, and 0.957 and intercepts of -0.02, 0.47, and 0.03 g/L for apolipoproteins B, A, and AI, respectively. Reference intervals for the four apolipoproteins were determined by using sera from 193 apparently healthy individuals.

Lipid biomarkers, hormone therapy and the risk of venous thromboembolism in women

“…Triglycerides were measured enzymatically with correction for endogenous glycerol [25] using a Hitachi 917 analyzer and reagents and calibrators from Roche Diagnostics. Levels of apolipoproteins B 100 and A-I were measured by an immunoturbidometric technique on the Hitachi 911 analyzer [26].…”

Association of oxidative stress and PON1 with LDL and HDL particle size in middle‐aged subjects

“…The concentration of LDL-C was calculated by the Friedewald O 2 .− formula [27]. ApoA-I and apolipoprotein B (apoB) were measured by immunoturbidimetry [28] using the ILab 600 analyser. All the assays were performed blindly.…”
