Abstract
Agarose gel electrophoresis has been extensively employed by researchers to gain a greater understanding of lipoprotein biology and its relationship to cardiovascular disease. Advances in this technique have been made in the visualization and quantitation of separated lipoproteins, in the use of agarose gel electrophoresis for detection and quantitation of apolipoproteins of the separated lipoproteins, and in the detection of lipoprotein heterogeneity. Agarose gel electrophoresis has been employed for two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of lipoproteins as well as in several different methods which probe the immunological properties of lipoproteins. Agarose gel electrophoresis has thus become an important tool in the study of serum lipoproteins in both clinical and basic science laboratories.
