Preparation and Storage

Background: Apolipoprotein B/ApoB

Human ApoB (Apolipoprotein B-100) is a 550 kDa, secreted, palmitoylated glycoprotein that is part of LDL and VLDL particles. It is made by liver and is 4536 amino acids (aa) in length. It binds LDL to the ApoB/E receptor. Multiple forms of ApoB-100 exist; ApoB-25, 26, 29, 37, 39, 48, and 74. The numbers reflect each molecule’s predicted MW as a percentage of ApoB-100 (512 kDa). Amino acids 1206-1414 of the precursor were used for immunization. Based on likelihood of secretion, this antibody may recognize B26 (1297 aa), B37 (1728 aa), B39 (1799 aa), and B48 (2152 aa). Over the immunization polypeptide range, human ApoB-100 is 80% and 82% aa identical to mouse and dog ApoB-100, respectively.
