title: Method for the direct specific measurement of vitamin B12 bound to transcobalamin II in plasma.
abstract: The concentration of plasma vitamin B12 bound to transcobalamin II was measured by two methods: QUSO and Heparin Sepharose (HS). The new HS procedure provided a specific, direct measurement of vitamin B12 bound to both R binder and transcobalamin II in plasma.
