...Florence Masaisa; Jean Bosco Gahutu; Joshua Mukiibi; Joris Delanghe; Jan Philippé Objective: We investigated the prevalence of opportunistic infections in HIV-infected women according to transferrin (TF) phenotype. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 200 HIV-positive women...

..., but the amount of iron excretion did not exceed 0.5 mg/day. Therefore an anaemia cannot be explained by this iron loss. Furthermore, it is postulated that the ratio iron: transferrin in the serum influencesthe urinary iron loss in these patients. 5 3 2009 © 1972 S. Karger AG, Basel 1972 Copyright...

...Dietrich Hahn; Bruno Baviera; Andreas M. Ganzoni Two transferrin solutions of 4 and 80% 59 Fe saturation respectively were administered to humans 30 min apart. The radioiron clearance from the high saturated preparation was significantly accelerated. Comparable results were obtained in rats when...

...Dietrich Hahn; Andreas M. Ganzoni First, an 80% 59 Fe-saturated transferrin solution was exposed to reticulocytes to reduce its iron content. Iron-donating activity of the supernatant was subsequently compared to that of a fresh preparation equal in iron and transferrin concentration; it was found...

...N.J. Verhoef; M.J. Kottenhagen; H.J.M. Mulder; P.J. Noordeloos; B. Leunse According to the hypothesis of Fletcher and Huehns, functional differences exist between both iron-binding sites of transferrin. The site designated A should mainly be involved in the delivery of iron to erythroid cells...

...K. Isobe; Y. Isobe; T. Sakurami The direct immunoperoxidase technique was employed to show the localization of transferrin in immature human erythroid cells. The present method is interesting in that use was made of a small marker (HRP-Fab’ complex) and in that the endogenous peroxidase was blocked...

...E. Baker; D. Gunner; S. Patterson The presence of iron on the transferrin molecule increases its affinity for and sojourn time on the reticulocyte. This could be due to selective internalization of iron-containing transferrin molecules. This possibility was investigated by electron microscopic...

...C.T. Wong; N. Saha Serum transferrin level and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) were studied in a group of 297 healthy adult male subjects having HbAA and G6PD B+ phenotypes by standard chemical and immunoelectrophoretic techniques to examine the influence of different transferrin variants...

... suggested that such mixed complexes formed when pyrophosphate-Fe and acetohydroxamate-Fe were added to apotransferrin: the initial species had a different absorbance maximum than the final transferrin-iron complex. We now show that similar spectroscopic changes are seen when free ferrous iron or iron...
