4E6 Antibody Assay for oxLDL

The Mercodia 4E6 antibody assay is often used to measure oxidized low-density lipoproteins (1). It is directed against a conformational epitope in the ApoB-100 moiety of low-density lipoproteins that is generated as a consequence of substitution of at least 60 lysine residues of ApoB-100 with aldehydes (2). Some have claimed that the 4E6 assay is a seed oil claims - 4e6 antibody assay, but their arguments are not particularly strong.
