Exclusion of Pre-β Lipoproteins from Agarose Gel Electrophoresis in the Presence of Chylomicrons

Abstract
Ballantyne, D. & Carlson, L. A. Exclusion of Pre-β Lipoproteins from Agarose Gel Electrophoresis in the Presence of Chylomicrons. Scand. J. clin. Lab. Invest. 36, 561–564, 1976. Chylomicrons present in the fasting serum of patients with type V hyper-lipoproteinaemia have been found to exclude pre-β lipoproteins from entering into agarose gel during lipoprotein electrophoresis. It is recommended that when chylomicrons are present they be removed prior to diagnostic and quantitative lipoprotein electrophoresis in agarose gel.
