Abstract
Solubilized membrane proteins of Hep G2 cells were electrophoretically separated on polyacrylamide gels and electrotransferred onto nitrocellulose paper. Overlaying the nitrocellulose with human high density lipoproteins conjugated to colloidal gold revealed the presence of a single protein band with an apparent molecular mass of 80 kDa. Binding of the conjugates to this protein was specific for high density lipoproteins in as much as it was effectively displaced by an excess of unlabelled high density lipoproteins but not by a similar excess of unlabelled low density lipoproteins. Binding was not dependent on Ca2+ as 10 mM EDTA had no effect. The binding activity of the solubilized membranes was increased by incubating the cells with non‐lipoprotein cholesterol. This was detected on electroblots and quantified with a new dot blot assay using the colloidal gold‐high density lipoprotein conjugates.Keywords
