Oxidized LDL Tests

There are currently two antibodies that have been developed that target oxidized lipids; the 4E6 antibody and EO6 antibody. The 4E6 antibody is directed against an oxidized epitope on the ApoB-100 protein on LDL. The EO6 antibody recognizes oxidized phospholipids and the assay measures the content of these oxidized phospholipids on lipid particles that contain ApoB-100.
