Xenogeneic cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) for modulation of CETP activity

摘要

Methods for modulating cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity and the plasma levels of lipoproteins involved in heart disease involve administration of a non-endogenous CETP or a plasmid-based vaccine for expression of such non-endogenous CETP to elicit production in a mammal of antibodies that recognize (bind to) the mammal's native (endogenous) CETP.
