Apolipoproteins (Apo) A-I and A-II from human high-density lipoproteins (HDL) were isolated and quantified by fast-protein liquid chromatography using a Superose 12 column (gel filtration) followed by a Mono Q column (anion-exchanger). The separation times were 45 min and 15 min, respectively. Identities of both apolipoproteins were confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by double immunodiffusion. Peak areas after Mono Q chromatography increased linearly with concentration for samples from 0.5 to 10 mg of protein with a mean ratio of Apo A-I to Apo A-II of 3.46 +/- 0.71 in normolipoproteinemic subjects. This precise technique is an alternative for preparing and quantifying both HDL apolipoproteins.

Potato virus Y (PVY, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) is one of the most devastating and economically important potato pathogens. Members of the Potyviridae family demonstrate high recombination rates. In nature, 5 major parental variants of PVY were identified with at least 35 recombinants.

Introduction: Clinical staging is widely applied in various fields of Medicine. Staging makes it possible to constitute early diagnoses and interventions, improving prognosis and preventing disease progression. In relation to Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), staging is still an underdeveloped subject in the scientific literature.

The ability of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to promote cellular cholesterol efflux is a more robust predictor of cardiovascular disease protection than HDL-cholesterol levels in plasma. Previously, we found that lipidated HDL containing both apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) and A-II (APOA2) promotes cholesterol efflux via the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCA1). In the current study, we directly added purified, lipid-free APOA2 to human plasma and found a dose-dependent increase in whole plasma cholesterol efflux capacity.

The proper uptake of drugs in liposome formulations into target cells markedly impacts therapeutic efficacy. The protein corona (PC), formed by the adsorption of serum proteins onto the liposome surface, binds to specific surface receptors of target cells, influencing the uptake pathway. We investigated the uptake pathway into leukemia cells based on PC analysis of CPX-351, a liposome containing cytarabine and daunorubicin in a fixed 5:1 synergistic molar ratio.

Given the failure of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) raising therapies to reduce cardiovascular disease risk, attention has turned towards HDL composition and vascular protective functions. In individuals with insulin resistance, exercise interventions recover HDL function. However, the effect of exercise on HDL in otherwise healthy individuals is unknown.
