Abstract
A method for determining low density lipoproteins (LDLs) in a body fluid sample, as well as a reagent suited for this use, are taught. The method involves precipitating high density lipoproteins (HDLs) from the sample, using an HDL specific antibody or reactive fragment, and then determining the presence and amount of LDL in the supernatant which results. The reagent contains the HDL specific antibodies, as well as polyanions and divalent cations.
