Pregnancy and guinea-pig isotransferrins--isolation and characterization of both isotransferrins

Clin Chim Acta. 1987 Jun 15;165(2-3):205-11. doi: 10.1016/0009-8981(87)90164-1.

Abstract

Microheterogeneity patterns of pregnant and non-pregnant guinea-pig serum transferrin differ significantly. Using preparative isoelectric-focusing 'slow' and 'fast' isotransferrins were separated. Amino-acid and carbohydrate composition of these two fractions are presented.
