Complexes of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine [PC] and apolipoprotein A-I [apoA-I] were prepared by a detergent (sodium cholate)-dialysis method and characterized by gradient gel electrophoresis, gel filtration, EM and chemical analysis. Multicomponent electrophoretic patterns were obtained indicating formation of at least 8 classes of discoidal complexes. The relative contribution of the different classes to the electrophoretic pattern was a function of the molar ratio of PC:apo A-I in interaction mixture. Molar ratios of PC:apo A-I in the isolated complexes were strongly and positively correlated with disc diameter obtained by EM. Incorporation of unesterified cholesterol into PC/apo A-I interaction mixtures also resulted in formation of unique complexes but with considerably different particle size distributions relative to those observed in the absence of cholesterol. One common consequence of cholesterol incorporation into interaction mixtures of 87.5:1 and 150:1 molar ratio of PC:apo A-I was the disappearance of a major complex class with diameter of 10.8 nm and the appearance of a major component with diameter of .apprx. 8.8 nm. Electrophoretic patterns of cholesterol-containing complexes showed a strong similarity to patterns recently published for high density lipoproteins [HDL] from plasma of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase-deficient subjects, suggesting that the complexes formed in vitro by the detergent-dialysis method may serve as appropriate models for investigation of the origins of the HDL particle size distribution.
