Activation of lymphocytes is a complex, yet finely regulated cascade of events that results in
the expression of cytokine receptors, production and secretion of cytokines and expression …

The chemistry and molecular biology of transferrin is discussed. The discussion covers the
genetic control of transferrin synthesis, its intracellular synthesis, intra-and extracellular …

Interaction of antigen in the proper histocompatibility context with the T lymphocyte antigen
receptor leads to an orderly series of events resulting in morphologic change, proliferation …

For many years it has been known that neoplastic cells express high levels of the transferrin
receptor 1 (TfR1) and internalize iron (Fe) from transferrin (Tf) at a tremendous rate …

Lupus nephritis: Correlation of interstitial cells with glomerular function. Mononuclear
inflammatory cells were studied using monoclonal antibodies in the interstitium and …

Background Iron is principally required for haemoglobin synthesis, and its uptake, utilisation
and storage are carefully regulated to ensure an adequate supply without excessive …

Iron-containing proteins of the respiratory chain are involved in electron transport to provide
the energy for cellular functional activities.'Iron is also required for cell growth and …

The requirement for prolactin in interleukin 2-driven T-cell proliferation was evaluated.
Addition of an anti-prolactin antiserum resulted in the specific inhibition of T-cell proliferation …

Iron is an essential element and a critical component of molecules involved in energy
production, cell cycle and intermediate metabolism. However, the same characteristic …

Transferrin (Trf) is a highly conserved serum glycoprotein mostly known for its iron transport
capacity. As iron is an indispensable nutrient for cell division, Trf and its receptor have long …
