Abstract
The application of isoelectric focussing on a gel-stabilized layer for the separation of the Tris-urea-soluble apolipoproteins of very low density lipoproteins has been described. This method in one step, allows the separation of most apolipoproteins, which were then analyzed and characterized. Apolipoproteins CII and CI were isolated as single protein bands with apparent pI of 5.0 and 6.5, respectively. Apolipoprotein CII was biologically active and could activate lipoprotein lipase. Apolipoprotein CIII was separated into several protein bands with pI ranging from 4.7 to 5.1 as a function of their number of sialic acid residues. Apolipoprotein E was isolated and characterized into five polymorphic bands with pI of 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, and 6.2, respectively.Entities:
