A noncompetitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for measuring total plasma apolipoprotein (apo) B using affinity purified polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Microtiter plates from different manufacturers were tested with regard to their IgG binding characteristics ; only one plate yielded consistent coefficients of variation of less than 5%. The optimal plasma dilution in this assay was 1:3000. IgG anti-apoB antisera conjugated to alkaline phosphatase was used as a second antibody. p-Nitrophenyl phosphate was utilized as substrate for color development, and the absorbance (410 nm) was read utilizing an ELISA reader interfaced with a microcomputer for data processing. Plasma apoB levels in plasma have been determined in 1115 male and female participants in the Framingham Offspring Study. Mean (f SD) plasma concentrations were 89 f 28 mg/dl. Significant age and sex related differences in apoB levels were noted.-Ordovas, J. Enzyme-linked inmunosorbent assay for human plasma apolipoprotein B. Supplementary key words radial immunodiffusion coronary artery disease lipoproteins Low density lipoproteins (LDL) as isolated from human plasma in the density region 1.019-1.063 g/ml are particles that contain (weight percent) approximately 25% protein, 40% cholesterol, 25% phospholipid, and 10% triglyceride (1). Apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 is the major protein constituent of LDL comprising over 95% of LDL protein mass. ApoB also accounts for about 30% of the protein present in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). Increased levels of plasma LDL cholesterol have been associated with an enhanced risk for premature coronary artery disease (CAD) (2, 3). It has been suggested that apoB may be a better predictor for premature CAD than LDL cholesterol (4). The quantitation of apoB allows one to identify those individuals who have elevated apoB levels despite having normal LDL cholesterol levels (hyperapobetalipoproteinemia) (5). These latter subjects are at increased risk for premature CAD (5). A number of methods have been utilized for quantita-tion of apoB: radial immunodiffusion (RID), electroim-munoassay (EIA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), and neph-elometry (6-12). All of these methods have technical problems that make them somewhat undesirable for use as clinical assays. More recently, several publications have appeared describing apoB measurements based on the use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) (13-16). Our purpose in this study was to develop a sensitive , reproducible, and easily performed assay for plasma apoB levels with ELISA methodology utilizing immunopurified polyclonal antibodies. Unlike previously reported assays, our assay requirements included having consistent between-run coefficients of variation of less than 5%. Our assay was …
