About APO A1 (Apolipoprotein A1) Reagent
Lipids are transported throughout the body by complex structures called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are classified into five major density classes: chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL). Over the past several decades, decreased serum levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and increased levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) have been associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.
Associated with these lipoproteins, at least five major apolipoproteins have been described and have been labeled A through E. Apolipoprotein A (Apo A1 and Apo A2) are the major protein components of HDL, constituting nearly 90% of the protein mass. Apo A1 plays a role in the activation of lecithin-cholesterol-acyltransferase (LCAT) and removal of free cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues.
Methodology
Immune complexes formed in solution scatter light in proportion to their size, shape and concentration. Turbidimeters measure the reduction of incidence light due to reflection, absorption or scatter.
In this procedure, the decrease in intensity of light transmitted (increase in absorbance) through particles suspended in solution is the result of complexes formed during the antigen-antibody reaction.
