✦ Synopsis
We conducted this study to investigate whether antioxidized low-density lipoprotein (a-oxLDL) is an antibody to cryptic and/or neo-antigen on p,-glycoprotein I (GPI), which is introduced by binding to anionic phospholipid, similar to that of GPI-dependent anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) employing a-oxLDL ELISA. We found that no significant optical density differences existed among systemic lupus erythematosus patients, including cases with aCL and/or lupus anticoagulant positivity, before and after the addition of GPI. Our results suggest that a-oxLDL is not an antibody to denatured GPI, but rather to OXLDL.
