Apolipoprotein C-III (Apo C-III) Assay
Reagent | Apolipoprotein C-III (Apo C-III)
An Independent Risk Factor for CVD
Benefits of the Randox Apo C-lll Assay

Immunoturbidimetric method
The immunoturbidimetric method limits interference from Bilirubin, Haemoglobin, Intralipid® and Triglycerides, producing more accurate results.

Exceptional correlation
A correlation coefficient of r=1.00 was displayed when the Randox apo C-III assay was compared to commercially available methods.

Excellent measuring range
The Randox apo C-III assay has a measuring range of 2.06 – 21.7mg/dl for the comfortable detection of clinically important results.

Liquid ready-to-use
The Randox apo C-III assay is available in a liquid ready-to-use format for convenience and ease-of-use.

Dedicated calibrator and controls available
Randox offer dedicated apolipoprotein calibrator and controls for a complete testing package.

Applications available
Applications available detailing instrument-specific settings for the convenient use of the Randox apo C-III assay on a variety of clinical chemistry analysers.

Clinical Significance
Not only is apo C-III a key regulator in the metabolism of triglycerides, but it is also an independent risk factor for CVD. Not only does apo C-III contribute to CVD through the regulation of triglycerides but also through its direct atherogenic effects, promoting atherosclerosis (fig 1) 1.

Physiological Significance
Apo C-III is composed of 79 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 8.8kDa. Apo C-III promotes hypertriglyceridemia via several mechanisms. Firstly, like apo C-II, apo C-III also inhibits the activity of LPL, distributing lipid lipolysis. Apo C-III hinders the binding of apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein E to the hepatic receptors resulting in the delayed catabolism of triglyceride – rich lipoproteins (TRLs). Finally, apo C-III prefers the production and secretion of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) in the liver 1.

What is IgG used for?
Measurement of immunoglobulin G is the basis of the serological diagnosis of several infectious diseases. Uses of IgG measurement include diagnosis of infectious and inflammatory diseases, diagnosis of malignancies, to detect the presence of soluble antigens and monitoring therapy in myeloma.
The Randox IgG assay is an immunoturbidimetric end-point method for manual use and on automated analysers. The increase in turbidity in a sample containing human IgG is measured at 340 nm.
