摘要：A monoclonal antibody to apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (JI-H) with unique binding properties has been used to separate a population of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from blood plasma of normotriglyceridemic individuals and patients with various forms of hypertriglyceridemia. This antibody fails to recognize an apoE-rich population of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) containing apoB-100 as well as all triglyceride-rich lipoproteins containing apoB-48, but it binds other VLDL that contain apoE and almost all lipoproteins that contain apoB-100, but no apoE. The unbound triglyceride-rich lipoproteins separated by ultracentrifugation after separation from plasma by immunoaffinity chromatography contained 10-13% of the apoB of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from three normotriglyceridemic individuals, 10-29% of that from five patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia, 40-48% of that from three patients with familial dysbetablipoproteinemia, and 65% of that from a patient with lipoprotein lipase deficiency. In all cases, the unbound triglyceride-rich lipoproteins contained more molecules of apoE and cholesteryl esters per particle than those that were bound to monoclonal antibody JI-H, and they were generally depleted of C apolipoproteins. These properties resemble those described for partially catabolized remnants of chylomicrons and VLDL. The affinity of the unbound lipoproteins for the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor varied widely, and closely resembled that of the total triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from individual subjects. Our results demonstrate that remnant-like chylomicrons and a population of remnant-like VLDL can be isolated and quantified in blood plasma obtained in the postabsorptive state from normotriglyceridemic and hypertriglyceridemic individuals alike.
