  • Title: Diagnosis of type III hyperlipoproteinemia by chromatography of plasma lipoproteins on columns containing agarose.
    Author: Shepherd J, Packard CJ, Dryburgh FJ, Third JL.
    Journal: Clin Chem; 1975 Dec; 21(13):1887-9. PubMed ID: 172260.
    Abstract:
    Agarose column chromatography has been used to separate plasma lipoproteins into very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Applied to the diagnosis of primary type III hyperlipoproteinemia, the procedure is capable of demonstrating three characteristic and specific changes from normality in the elution pattern of lipoproteins from patients with this condition. In the type III profile there is (a) incomplete separation of VLDL from putative LDL material, (b) early elution of the type III LDL with respect to a normal LDL marker, and (c) relative deficiency of type III LDL with elution characteristics of normal LDL. We advocate the use of this method in the diagnosis of type III hyperlipoproteinemia.
