Abstract
IN earlier investigations of the immunoelectrophoretic identification of the iron-binding protein siderophilin or transferrin, pure preparations of the protein have been used1–3. The preparation of siderophilin is, however, difficult in spite of the fact that methods have been perfected to do this; for example, precipitation with rivanol2,4. Wuhrmann and Jasinski8 were able to show siderophilin in paper electrophoresis by labelling it with radioactive iron. Paper electrophoresis, however, only allows the classification of siderophilin into a specific group of serum proteins, that is, the β-globulins.
