Abstract

Human serum high density lipoproteins (HDL) were isolated by preparative salt density gradient ultracentrifugation and analyzed further by heparin-sepharose affinity chromatography. Separation of the major classes of serum lipoproteins was achieved after a single ultracentrifugation on a salt density gradient at 272,000 x g for 36 hours in a swinging bucket rotor. After isolation, the total HDL was subdivided into HDL containing apoprotein E and HDL without this apoprotein by heparin-sepharose affinity chromatography. Relative amounts of these subclasses were then calculated.

HDL-cholesterol was measured after precipitation of LDL and VLDL by phosphotungstic acid and magnesium. The statistical relationship between HDL containing apoprotein E and HDL-cholesterol was then examined.
