Abstract
Lactoferrin was detected in tumor tissue from a patient with Hodgkin''s disease and a patient with Burkitt''s lymphoma. Both had radiogallium scans demonstrating increased uptake in the tumor subsequently found to contain lactoferrin. Tissue assay for lactoferrin was performed by the indirect immunofluorescence method. Control splenic tissue showed slight lactoferrin content or none.
