The structural basis for monoclonal antibody 5D2 binding to the tryptophan-rich loop of lipoprotein lipase

Abstract excerpt

For three decades, the LPL-specific monoclonal antibody 5D2 has been used to investigate LPL structure/function and intravascular lipolysis. 5D2 has been used to measure LPL levels, block the triglyceride hydrolase activity of LPL, and prevent the propensity of concentrated LPL preparations to form homodimers. Two early studies on the location of the 5D2 epitope reached conflicting conclusions, but the more...
