Its function is known to be influenced by oxidation. Methods: Using H O - or chloramine T-oxidized apoA-I as antigen, we prepared 2 kinds of monoclonal antibodies, and established an ELISA 2 2 system for the measurement of oxidized apoA-I. Results: The 2 monoclonal antibodies obtained, 7D3 and 98A7, exhibited different reactivity characteristics. The serum level of oxidized apoA-I was higher in patients with either inflammatory disease or diabetes than in healthy individuals, and suggested a diversity of oxidized apoA-I. Conclusion: The 2 monoclonal antibodies are useful for the determination of oxidized apoA-I and study of diverse oxidized HDLs. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
