Abstract
A method for assaying lipoprotein (a) in a liquid sample containing other lipoproteins, and a assay device for use in the method are disclosed. In the method, the liquid is contacted with a solid-support reagent containing lectin attached to a solid support, under conditions effective to bind of lipoprotein (a) to the support-bound lectin. After removing unbound lipoproteins, the amount of lipoprotein (a) bound to the support is assayed. In one embodiment, the method and assay device are designed for assaying cholesterol associated with lipoprotein (a).
