Abstract excerpt
A sodium dodecyl sulphate-agarose apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] phenotyping method was set up to attain accurate scanning densitometry of proteins. Serum samples from 99 healthy Spanish men were analysed and twenty-five different apo(a) isoforms (12 to 37 kringle 4 repeats) were detected. Double-band phenotypes accounted for 39.4% (n = 39) and three different patterns of protein expression were identified: pattern A...
