Abstract

The B apoprotein is thought to be essential for the synthesis and secretion of triglyceriderich lipoproteins from mammalian liver. Antibodies were prepared against rat low density lipoproteins (LDL, density 1.025-1.045) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). By Ouchterlony immunodiffusion and Immunoelectrophoresis, the major determinant shared by these antisera had the characteristics of the B apoprotein. Fab fragments were prepared by the method of Porter and conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) by the two step method of Avrameas and Ternynck. Male Long-Evans rats (250-300 gm) were fasted overnight, anesthetized with Brevital (Lilly), and perfused through the portal vein with fresh 4% formaldehyde in 0.135 M sodium phosphate buffer.
