work of Dr.. Lou~s A. Soloff, 2rofessor of ~dicine at the Temple

Dr. Soloff has been. workinq through a CTR Research Grant
on a project entitled "I~;munoassav of Lecitihin Cholesterol
Acyltransferase after Eating~ and ~mohinq in Health and Athero-
sc!erosis." He has recently achieved near purification o~ LCAT,
an enzl~c.,e %:hich is fund:amental to the inteqration of fat metabolism.
Dr. Robert Eockett of CTR feels that Dr. Soioff should be able to
further purify this very important enzyme and produce an antibody.
After discussion ~ith D~. Sol0ff and others%;~e have con-
cluded that the LCAT work is worth~, of support.
