Popis: Lipoprotein particles containing apolipoproteins (Apo) were studied by enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assay in two homozygous familial hypercholesterolemic patients (1 male and 1 female) with portacaval shunts, and in controls. Total Apo B, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were increased in both patients while complex Apo B containing particles, Lp CIII : B, were not increased in these FH patients. The dextran-sulfate cellulose columns (Liposorber LA-40) had an excellent adsorption selectivity and adsorption capacity for lipoprotein particles containing Apo B and a minimum adsorption capacity in Apo AI and Apo All-containing particles. This apheresis technique selectively depleted plasma of atherogenic Apo B-containing particles with a minimal loss of antiatherogenic Apo AI-containing particles.
