— Forty‐seven cyst fluids and autologous sera were examined for lipoproteins (LP) by cellulose acetate membrane (GAM) electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis and quantitative analyses for β‐lipoprotein and cholesterol. By CAM electrophoresis all cyst fluids showed β‐LP and β‐LP bands but no pre‐β‐LP band. Four cyst fluids exhibited an additional, well‐defined lipid‐staining band located within the y‐globulin zone (post‐β‐band). The relative amount of β‐LP was higher in cyst fluid than in serum. Single radial immunodiffusion showed that the content of β‐LP was low. On an average, cyst fluid contained more cholesterol than did serum. Some cyst fluids were particularly rich in cholesterol. It is hypothesized that the cholesterol is derived partly from β‐LP originating from plasma.
