Circulating oxidized LDL forms complexes with β2-glycoprotein I: implication as an atherogenic autoantigen

β2-glycoprotein I (β2-GPI) is a major antigen for antiphospholipid antibodies (Abs, aPL) present in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). We recently reported (J. Lipid Res., 42: 697, 2001; J. Lipid Res., 43: 1486, 2002) that β2-GPI specifically binds to Cu2+-oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and that t...
