ABSTRACT:
An improved method of obtaining fluorescence measurements which may be used as a measure of the CETP-catalyzed rate of transfer of a lipophilic non-polar fluorescent cholesteryl ester between lipoprotein particles is disclosed. The method may be used in assays for screening CETP inhibitors.
