Abstract excerpt
The immunoreactivity of apolipoprotein B (apo B) in plasma obtained from 238 unrelated black African male subjects from the People's Republic of Congo was analysed by non-competitive Enzyme Linked-Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) with monoclonal BIP 45 anti-LDL antibody. The polymorphism detected by BIP 45 monoclonal antibody is identical to the Ag(c,g) polymorphism. Antibody BIP 45 distinguishes three apo B allotypes...
