Characterization of serum ferritin in iron overload: possible identity to natural apoferritin

P Arosio et al. Br J Haematol. 1977 Jun.

Abstract

Serum ferritins from a patient with haemochromatosis and from a patient with transfusional siderosis were compared with tissue isoferritins on the basis of their iron content, isoferritin spectrum and immunological properties. Both serum ferritins had a low iron 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.
