PCT No. PCT/SE86/00405 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 21, 1987 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 21, 1987 PCT Filed Sep. 12, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO87/02137 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 9, 1987.Method for carrying out immunochemical assays for lipoproteins and/or apolipoproteins, wherein prior to the reaction of the sample with the appropriate anti(apolipoprotein) or anti(lipoprotein) antibody the pH of the sample is maintained at a non-denaturing value in a pretreatment step for exposing antigenic determinants, said non-denaturing value lying above pH 9.0 or below pH 3.0. After the pre-treatment step the pH is adjusted for immune reaction, so that then the immunochemical assay can be carried out in a manner known per se. |
