[Effects of high-density lipoprotein 1 on the formation of foam cells from human monocyte-derived macrophages].

Objective: To investigate effects of serum HDL(1) on the formation of foam cells from human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages.

Methods: Sectie density polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sd-PAGE) was applied for isolation and preparation of HDL(1) simultaneously. Monocytes were isolated from human peripheral blood by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation and plastic adsorptive process.
