There is provided a method for a selective assay of component, particularly cholesterol, in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) which is one of serum lipoproteins.In the assay, an enzymatic reaction of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) or cholesterol esterase (CE) which well reacts with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and VLDL is carried out at least in the presence of calixarene or a salt thereof. It is also carried out in the presence of one or more substance(s) selected from albumin and basic amino acids in addition to calixarene or a salt thereof.
