Because preß1-HDL is unstable during storage, fresh plasma must be used for preß1-HDL measurements. In this study, we describe a method of stabilizing preß1-HDL, and evaluate the analytical performance of the immunoassay for preß1-HDL. Fresh plasma was stored under various conditions with or without a pretreatment consisting of a 21-fold dilution into 50% (v/v) sucrose. Preß1-HDL concentration was measured by immunoassay. In nonpretreated samples, preß1-HDL decreased significantly from the baseline after 6 h at room temperature. Although preß1-HDL was more stable at 0°C than at room temperature, it increased from 30.2 ± 8.5 (SE) to 56.5 ± 5.5 mg/l apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) (P < 0.001) in hyperlipidemics, and from 18.4 ± 1.2 to 37.9 ± 3.3 mg/l apoA-I (P < 0.001) in normolipidemics after 5-day storage. After 30-day storage at -80°C, preß1-HDL increased from 29.0 ± 4.0 to 38.0 ± 5.7 mg/l apoA-I (P < 0.001) in hyperlipidemics, whereas it did not change in normolipidemics. In pretreated samples, preß1-HDL concentration did not change significantly under any of the above conditions. Moreover, preß1-HDL concentrations determined by immunoassay correlated with those determined by native two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (n = 24, r = 0.833, P < 0.05). An immunoassay using MAb55201 with pretreated plasma is useful for clinical measurement of preß1-HDL.
