Anti-Apolipoprotein Lp(a) Antibody

This goat polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is supplied in a vial containing 10 mL of liquid reagent. The material is delipidated and passed through a 0.2 µm filter, which removes endogenous lipoprotein contaminants that would otherwise compete in the assay and ensures a low particulate background on automated analyzers.

The reagent is unconjugated and is intended primarily for turbidimetric immunoassay (TIA) workflows. In these methods, antibody-antigen complexes formed with circulating Lp(a) particles are quantified by light-scatter or absorbance readings on clinical chemistry platforms. Because it is raised in goat, the antibody can be paired with anti-goat secondary reagents in custom assay development or deployed directly as a precipitating reagent in research-grade lipoprotein quantitation.

Lipoprotein(a) is an independent atherogenic risk marker, and polyclonal reagents of this type are widely used in cardiovascular research, lipid metabolism studies, and the validation of novel Lp(a)-lowering strategies. The polyclonal format provides broad epitope coverage across the kringle IV repeats of apo(a), which is particularly useful when capturing intact Lp(a) particles that vary widely in apo(a) isoform size between individuals.
