The radioimmunoassay experiments demonstrated the decrease of immunoreactivity of three different epitopes of apoB located in different parts of the protein; at the same time the immunoreactivity of another epitope, previously mapped to the C-terminal 20 amino acids of apoB increased markedly during the first 6 h of LDL oxidation and diminished gradually upon prolonged incubation with copper ions. The fate of LDL during oxidation was also monitored using electrophoretic techniques combined with immunodetection. These experiments showed a rapid fragmentation and disappearance of immunoreactive apoB. They also indicated that the diminishing LDL immunoreactivity detectable during oxidation is associated with apoB fragments still attached to the lipid core. The changes in apoB immunoreactivity during Cu2+ treatment of LDL are similar to those observed upon LDL aging. Therefore, it appears that the enhancement of immunoreactivity of the C-terminus of apoB is a general phenomenon associated with various kinds of oxidative modifications of LDL.
