title: Ceruloplasmin and the reactions forming diferric transferrin.
abstract: The rate of formation of diferric-transferrin has been studied using various combinations of Fe(II), Tf, Cp and h serum. When the reactants were added in a correct physiological sequence, ceruloplasmin and diluted human serum showed the fastest rate of saturation of transferrin.
