Figure 5. Distribution of SAA in HDL obtained from the patients.
HDL isolated from three patients from the Low SAA group (L1–3) and High SAA group (H1–3), respectively, were analysed by non-denaturing gel electrophoresis and visualized by CBB staining and by western blotting using anti-apoA-I antibody and anti-SAA antibody. These are representative patterns of HDL obtained from X and Y patients from Low SAA and High SAA groups, respectively. Serum SAA concentrations of the patients L1, L2, L3, H1, H2 and H3 were 6.0, 3.0, 3.0, 557, 3558 and 2762 μg/ml, respectively.
