摘要：A simple and new method has been developed to detect apolipoprotein E polymorphism directly from plasma or serum without prior ultracentrifugation and delipidation. The method combines the use of dialyzed plasma or serum samples with or without neuraminidase treatment followed by monodimensional isoelectric focusing in simple or 3 M urea gels at a constant low power and progressively increasing voltage over a 3-hr period, and finally protein blotting to a nitrocellulose membrane. Apolipoprotein E phenotypes are identified immunologically using a double antibody reaction, the primary antibody being a monospecific, polyclonal goat anti-apolipoprotein E, and the secondary antibody being a rabbit anti-goat IgG conjugated with alkaline phosphatase. The method was employed to screen apolipoprotein E polymorphism in two white populations in the United States. The frequency values are comparable to those reported previously by other investigators using conventional detection methods. The procedure is simple, accurate, suitable for large scale epidemiologic, clinical, and genetic studies.
