Rinsing of gradient composite acrylamide/agarose gels with 1% Triton X-100 permits the efficient electrotransfer of very-low-density and low-density lipoproteins from the gels and does not appear to interfere with subsequent capture of the lipoproteins by charged nylon membranes. Overall efficiency

β¦ Synopsis
An exponential gradient gel with O-10% acrylamide and 0.5% agarose was developed for electrophoresis of intact high molecular weight lipoproteins. This system resolves very low density lipoproteins, intermediate density lipoproteins, lipoprotein a, and low density lipoproteins in a size-dependent fashion. The characteristic relative mobility of these species can be determined in relation to protein and colloidal gold reference materials. Electron microscopy of selected lipoprotein fractions confirmed that relative mobility was related to apparent lipoprotein diameter. The composite gel medium can be used with prestained lipoproteins and permits immunoelectroblotting for qualitative analysis of apolipoprotein imMtitUentS.
