  • Lipoprotein fingerprinting methods using metal ion chelate salts
    Patent number: 7320893
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed which separate and identify lipoproteins in biological samples. An ultracentrifuge density gradient is used to separate lipoprotein fractions. The fractions are visualized, resulting in a lipoprotein profile. The fractions can be further analyzed by a wide array of laboratory and clinical methods. The lipoprotein profile can be used in clinical diagnoses and other medical applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2004
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2008
    Assignee: The Texas A&M University System
    Inventors: Ronald D Macfarlane, Brian D Hosken, Zachlyn N Farwig, Irma L Espinosa, Christine L Myers, Steven L Cockrill
