Mink Ldl antigen of serum low-density lipoprotein was demonstrated by alloantibodies. No genetic relation was found between Ldl and the Lpm system of very-high-density lipoprotein. The existence of an autosomal dominant gene, coding for the new alloantigenic marker, is postulated on the basis of min

✦ Synopsis
Five allotypes, Lpm 1, Lpm 2, Lpm 3, Lpm 4, and Lpm 5, were detected by isoimmunization in mink sera. Immunoelectrophoresis, preparative ultracentrifugation, and histochemical tests for lipids and esterase permitted reference of these alloantigenic markers to a very high density alpha2-lipoprotein. Based on population analysis and breeding tests, five genetic units are postulated: Lpm1, Lpm4, Lpm3,4, Lpm1,2, and Lpm2,4,5. These units determine the polymorphism of the Lpm system and behave as Mendelian alleles.

By means of alloimmunization of mink, two new antigens, Lpm-7 and Lpm-8, were detected in their sera. Lpm-7 and Lpm-8 allospecificities were referred to a very high density alpha2-lipoprotein (Lpm) by the following criteria: histochemical tests, immunoelectrophoresis, preparative ultracentrifugation
Antibodies against a new allotype, Ld2, of mink low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were obtained by alloimmunization with a preparation of this lipoprotein. The two known allotypes of LDL, designated Ld1 and Ld2, are coded for by codominant alleles of the autosomal Ld locus. This locus is probably involv
