Aa. Izzo et J. Benveniste, PRESENCE OF PAF-ACETHER IN HUMAN BLOOD AFTER THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY, BUT NOT AFTER HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY PURIFICATION, Journal of pharmacological and toxicological methods, 36(4), 1996, pp. 219-221
After HPLC purification of human blood extracts, paf-acether (paf) was
found exclusively as a lipoprotein-bound compound (lipopaf), whereas
free-paf was absent. When the same samples (or lipopaf recovered from
HPLC) were purified by TLC, both free-paf and lipopaf were detected. T
he free-paf detected in blood samples could thus result from lipopaf d
issociation during TLC purification. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Inc.
