Immunoenzymehistochemical demonstration of the binding of low density lipoproteins to cultured human fibroblasts
Abstract
Using as indirect cytochemical immunoperoxidase technique, we were able to demonstrate the binding of low density lipoprotein to cultured human fibroblasts. With this technique, fibroblasts from a patient suffering from homozygous hyperlipoproteinaemia type IIa did not show this binding. The method described here allows study of the localization of unmodified low density lipoproteins binding to cultured fibroblasts.
