...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...

... disease Erythropoietin Hepcidin Hypoferremia Inflammation Transferrin The marrow iron is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of iron deficiency. In subjects with IDA, marrow iron stores are depleted in both erythroid progenitors as well as macrophages. However, in ACD, iron stains...

... anemias Transferrin Sideroblastic anemias are a diverse group of disorders with several features in common. First of all, these anemias share an illuminating sign of ringed sideroblasts in the bone marrow. Additional common characteristics of sideroblastic anemias consist of hypochromic...

..., 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. Iron loss in urine Nephrotic syndrome Renal anaemia...

...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...
