Abstract
Lactoferrin is an iron binding protein present in external secretions, particularly milk, and in neutrophil granulocytes. It is structurally related to transferrin, which is the major iron binding protein in serum. Transferrin can fully substitute for serum as growth support for activated human lymphocytes and many cell lines1,2 and cell surface receptors for transferrin are expressed on activated lymphocytes and other proliferating cells.3,4
