A second method includes dissolving plasma fraction IV in a buffer to produce a pretreatment solution adding NaCl to the pretreatment solution and cooling it to form apoA-1 precipitate collecting and reconstituting the apoA-1 precipitate loading the reconstituted apoA-1 to an anion exchange column and eluting apoA-1 from the column. 17
