Ferritin synthesis by splenic tumor tissue of Hodgkin's disease.
Increased ferritin synthesis by Hodgkin's disease splenic tumor tissue was demonstrated by incorporation of 14C-leucine and radioautography. This suggests that elevated tumor and serum ferritin concentrations found in patients with Hodgkin's disease is derived from tumor tissue per se.
