Apolipoprotein B and A-I values in 147 576 Swedish males and females, standardized according to the World Health Organization–International Federation of Clinical Chemistry First International Reference Materials

Serum concentrations of apolipoprotein (apo) B and apo A-I were measured from 1985–1996 in a Swedish population sample of 83 112 males and 64 464 females, ages 80 years, using an automated immunoturbidimetric method calibrated against fresh pools of human serum and commercial calibrators. All values...

Description
Summary:Serum concentrations of apolipoprotein (apo) B and apo A-I were measured from 1985–1996 in a Swedish population sample of 83 112 males and 64 464 females, ages 80 years, using an automated immunoturbidimetric method calibrated against fresh pools of human serum and commercial calibrators. All values were recalculated in 1997 after calibration against the WHO-IFCC First International Reference Materials. The recalculation factor was 1.059 for apo B, whereas for apo A-I, the correction was: y = 0.989x + 0.101. The total CVs for both apo B and A-I were generally
