<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for simply and accurately quantifying RLP cholesterol in a specimen material without requiring separation and to provide a kit for the same. <P>SOLUTION: The method for quantifying remnant-like lipoprotein cholesterol in a specimen containing a plurality of lipoprotein types, including a remnant-like lipoprotein, includes: a step (1) for eliminating cholesterol in lipoproteins other than the remnant-like lipoprotein; and a step (2) for quantifying the cholesterol in the remaining remnant-like lipoprotein. In the step (1), the specimen is acted upon by a cholesterol esterase with a molecular weight of more than 40 kDa and which does not contain a subunit with a molecular weight of 40 kDa or less. In the step (2), the specimen is acted upon by a cholesterol esterase with a molecular weight of 40 kDa or less or a cholesterol esterase with a subunit with a molecular weight of 40 kDa or less. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
