Lipoproteins, Low Density, Human Plasma, Suitable for Cell Culture

Cat. No.: np001035

GRADE & PURITY ≥95%

Overview

Endotoxin Level: <=10 EU/mg by Pyrosate LAL clot test 

Sterility Testing: Using Turbidity Growth/No Growth as the Indicator
Thioglycollate Broth (THIO) for yeast and mold growth
Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) for bacterial growth 

In a normal fasting individual, low density lipoprotein concentrations range from 2.0 - 3.5 g/L. LDL constitutes 50% of the total lipoprotein mass in plasma and is the major carrier of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters. LDL levels strongly correlate with coronary heart disease. 

Purity: single arc by IEP against antisera to whole human serum. Essentially free of other plasma lipoproteins and chylomicrons as determined by electrophoresis using a SPIFE Vis Cholesterol gel kit for lipids and Coomassie Blue for proteins. >=95% of total lipoprotein content by electrophoresis.

Prepared from fresh, non-frozen plasma shown to be non reactive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative for anti-HIV 1 & 2 by FDA-required tests.
