Low-density lipoproteins, isolated from the serum of patients with hypercholesterolemia (dislipoproteinemia, type IIa), increased significantly the number of active and recovered rosette-forming cells (RFC) at incubation with lymphocytes of coronary patients. The use of lipoproteins, belonging to all atherogenic classes, did not essentially alter lymphocyte ability to form total E-RFC. Purified apolipoprotein B reduced lymphocyte capacity for active rosette formation.
