Claim Text:
1. A method of assessing a level of specific lipoprotein particles present in a biological sample comprising: providing a biological sample comprising lipoprotein particles; providing a first and a second lipoprotein-binding complex, wherein the first lipoprotein binding complex comprises an antibody that binds to a first lipoprotein particle or portion thereof wherein the antibody is bound to a first signal producing molecule capable of producing or causing production of a first detectable signal and the second lipoprotein-binding complex comprises a second antibody that binds to a second lipoprotein particle or portion thereof, wherein the second antibody is bound to a second signal producing molecule capable of producing or causing production of a second detectable signal and wherein the first and the second detectable signals are distinguishable from each other when detected in a single lane of an electrophoretic gel; separating the lipoprotein particles present in the biological sample by depositing the biological sample on an electrophoretic gel and carrying out gel electrophoresis; probing the lipoprotein particles or portions thereof with the first and second lipoprotein-binding complexes to produce the first and the second detectable signals; detecting the first and the second detectable signals on the electrophoretic gel; and determining the level of the first and the second lipoprotein particles or portions thereof present in the biological sample based on said detecting.
