title: The role of iron and transferrin in lymphocyte transformation.
abstract: It has recently become apparent that many types of transformed cells possess membrane receptors for the plasma iron-binding protein transferrin. In this review Jeremy Brock and Tryfonia Mainou-Fowler discuss these observations in relation to transferrin's properties as an iron-transport protein, and the relative importance of iron and transferrin in lymphocyte transformation.
