## Abstract Since transferrin was discovered more than half a century ago, a considerable effort has been made towards understanding tranferrinβmediated iron uptake. However, it was not until recently with the identification and characterization of several new genes related to iron homeostasis, suc

Recent advances in liposome technology have shown promise relative to the introduction of chemotherapeutic agents with reduced toxicity, extended longevity, and potential for cell-specific targeting. In this study we report the engineering of a liposomal delivery system for the chemotherapeutic drug
We have studied the process of transferrin endocytosis in human erythromyeloid cell line K562 using fluorescein (FL) and rhodamine (RD) labeled iron-saturated transferrin (FeTF), and a fluorescein labeled monoclonal antibody to the transferrin receptor (FL-mAB). Because the antireceptor antibody and
The perfusion of rat brain with '251-transferrin resulted in a receptor-mediated uptake of transferrin into the endothelium of the blood-brain barrier followed by its detection in the brain. During a pulsechase experiment, lZSI-transferrin accumulated in the endothelial cells during the pulse, with
