Abstract

Plasma low-density lipoprotein levels were measured using commercially-available antibody-agar plates for single radial immunodiffusion. Protein, cholesterol and triglyceride levels were measured in whole plasma and plasma fractions obtained by ultracentrifugation. Single radial immunodiffusion was found to be easier than ultra- centrifugation. It compares favorably with low-density lipoprotein analysis as a way to measure betalipoprotein levels.
