We compared the dual-precipitation method for measurement of cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein subfractions HDL2 and HDL3 (Gidez et al., J Lipid Res 1982;23:1206-33) with density-gradient ultracentrifugation in a swinging-bucket rotor (Demacker et al., Clin Chem 1983;29:656-63). The concentration of dextran sulfate 15,000 (DS) needed for optimal accuracy of the HDL2-chol and HDL3-chol values was established empirically. At a DS concentration of 0.87 g/L, the values for HDL2-chol as well as for HDL3-chol in 88 sera did not differ significantly from those obtained by ultracentrifugation. The precision of the method was satisfactory and was related to the concentration. Nevertheless, the dual-precipitation method lacks specificity inasmuch as it produces no fractions that contain only one HDL subfraction. HDL2 and HDL3 each contained an equivalent amount of cholesterol from the other. At increasing DS concentrations, some radiolabeled HDL3 appeared to have precipitated prior to complete precipitation of HDL2. This lack of specificity can be tolerated in large-scale epidemiological studies for screening, but not in small-scale intervention studies or in assay of clinical samples, where better accuracy is needed and ultracentrifugation is preferred.
