Abstract

The present invention provides a process for the determination of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in body fluids, wherein high density lipoprotein (HDL) antibodies are added to a sample to be investigated, insolubles formed are separated off and the LDL or one of its components is determined in the supernatant. The present invention also provides a reagent for the determination of the LDL fraction in body fluids, wherein it contains HDL antibodies.
