Abstract

This work describes the extraction of the apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) from human plasma using the cloud point extraction (CPE). The CPE was carried out with a nonionic surfactant (5 % w/v Triton® X-114), and the presence of a salting-out effect (10 % w/v NaCl) promoted biocompatible separation conditions at room temperature and pH 6.8. The apoA-I present in the surfactant-rich phase was identified by tandem mass spectrometry after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
