โฆ Synopsis
The expressions of transferrin receptor and ferritin in a human-human hybridoma in protein-free media were examined. The regulation of the expressions of the two proteins appeared to be decoupled in protein-free cultures. Such cultures also exhibited much higher ferritin expression and endogenous iron pool than a culture in serum-free medium containing transferrin.

Human blood monocytes when cultured on hydrophobic Teflon membranes differentiate into mature macrophages. The expression of transferrin receptors was monitored by monoclonal antibody (OKT9) binding as detected by immunoperoxidase staining. Whereas monocytes were negative, an increasing percentage o
We investigated the regulation and expression of ferritin in human cells by exposing peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) to heat shock (HS), opsonized sheep red blood cells (RBC), and iron. Iron induced ferritin but had no effect on stress protein expression. HS did not induce ferritin, indicating that
