[Determination of lipoprotein Lp(a). A semi-automatic immuno-turbidimetric method]

A sensitive, accurate, semiautomatic immunoturbidimetric assay for determining Lp(a) levels using a Hitachi 705 apparatus is described. A polyclonal antibody against anti-Lp(a) produced by Immuno-france is used. Studies proved that this test is reliable and that results are well correlated with those obtained by immunonephelometry.
