Plasma and hepatic apoE isoproteins of nonhuman primates. Differences in apoE among humans, apes, and New and Old World monkeys.
We have used two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) to study the plasma and hepatic apoE isoproteins of nonhuman primates and have compared them with their human counterparts.We have found that apoE obtained from fresh monkey or ape plasma, as well as nascent apoE synthesized by perfused monkey livers, is composed of several isop
