title: High performance liquid chromatography methods for studying protein binding of aluminium in human serum in the absence and in the presence of desferrioxamine.
abstract: Ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography of serum proteins was combined with aluminium determination by electrothermal-atomisation-atomic-absorption spectroscopy and fluorimetry for studying the distribution of aluminium in human serum in the absence and in the presence of desferrioxamine. Aluminium was eluted as a single peak in the same fraction as transferrin. However, following the addition of desferrioxamine most of the aluminium was liberated from transferrin and become attached to the chelator.
