Abstract
Serum ferritins from a patient with hemochromatosis and from a patient with transfusional siderosis were compared with tissue isoferritins on the basis of their Fe content, isoferritin spectrum and immunological properties. Both serum ferritins had a low Fe content and corresponded to only the most basic isoferritins in liver. The serum ferritins were very similar to the natural apoferritin from liver in all respects.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
