Objectives: Streptococcal serum opacity factor (SOF) disrupts high density lipoprotein (HDL)
structure in vitro and in vivo giving rise to a neo HDL, a cholesteryl ester-rich
micro emulsion and lipid free apo A-I. In WT C57/BL mice, SOF (4 microg) reduces serum
cholesterol ∼45% in three h where it remains for at least 20 h. Early evidence suggested
that HDL instability and apo A-I lability were required for the SOF reaction. The
goal of this study was to identify the role of apo A-I in the SOF reaction in vitro
and in vivo.
