The results of parallel determinations of digoxin in the sera of non selected patients (n = 104) by enzyme immunoassay (EMIT-EIA) and radioimmunoassay (J-125 labeled RIA) were compared with each other. The determinations revealed considerably different concentrations; the values determined by EIA were statistical lower (for EIA 1.09 +/- 0.99 ng/ml, for RIA 1.34 +/- 1.01 ng/ml, p less than 0.01). In sera with hemolysis and in sera of patients with hyperlipidemia and uremia false-negative results were found by EIA. After elimination of these sera an exact concordation of the values of both the methods was obtained (for EIA 1.12 +/- 1.01 ng/ml, for RIA 1.12 +/- 1.02 ng/ml, r = 0.95).

Two sensitive and accurate methods for the determination of apo B using polyclonal antibody for human purified LDL are reported. Modified one step EIA by sandwich method is highly sensitive and serum has to be diluted by 1,000-3,000 times, but suited for the diagnosis of hypo or abetalipoproteinemia, detailed analyses of lipoprotein subfractions and in vitro study of lipoprotein metabolism. Latex method is moderately sensitive (serum dilution: 100 times), automated, simple and accurate with CV, 1.5-2.5%. Serum apo B assay is useful not only for the diagnosis of hyperlipidemia, hypolipidemia, but also for the analyses of atherogenic lipoproteins which are frequently associated with large vessel atherosclerotic changes in diabetes, obesity and coronary, cerebral or peripheral vascular diseases. A family pedigree of elevated apo B with frequent association of diabetes (type 2 b) and prominent hypercholesterolemia with autoimmune apo B antibody has been described. In obesity, either hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia plays a role in the elevation of VLDL and IDL probably through hepatic overproduction of VLDL. The size of VLDL tends to be larger in VLDL while IDL and LDL seem to become smaller judging from relative lipid contents to apo B.
