title: Thiophilic interaction chromatography of human transferrins.
abstract: Lactoferrin and serum transferrin, the iron-binding proteins, are widely distributed in biological fluids. Transferrins have many biological functions: anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunoregulatory. A facile monitoring of the concentration of transferrins in biological fluids may have medical relevance. Thiophilic-interaction chromatography of transferrins may provide an efficient means for their quantitation in serum.
