Abstract

LDL interact with fibroblasts through specific membrane sites. This reaction is the first step of a mechanism which leads to the regulation of intracellular cholesterol synthesis. When LDL form a complex with an IgA from a myeloma serum with mixed hyperlipidemia and xanthomatosis, they no longer function as a regulator, and the result is excess production of free intracellular cholesterol. No excess cholesterol production is observed when myeloma IgA is replaced by control IgG and IgA.
