Atherosclerosis results from the accumulation of lipoproteins in the vascular wall. Here, Thierer et al. report the design of a chemiluminescent reporter for atherogenic lipoproteins using fusion of apolipoprotein-B to a luciferase enzyme, and find it bears potential for the identification of regulators of lipoprotein metabolism in vivo.
