Specific binding of ferric bovine transferrin to the human transferrin receptor was investigated using K562 cells propagated in serum-free medium without transferrin supplemented with elemental iron. Affinit chromatography of solubilized extracts of K562 cells surface-labeled with 5l was performed u
Samples of monoferric human serum transferrin have been prepared in which the iron occupies predominantly the N-site (sample A) and the C-site (sample B). 111In was then added in concentrations small enough to ensure that there was always an excess of specific binding sites. Because of the presence
Sheep reticulocytes from phlebotomized animals have a total transferrin binding potential that may exceed by an order of magnitude the surface binding capacity. Steady state uptake of transferrin at 37 degrees C is generally less than 50% of the total transferrin binding capacity. During long-term i
