A comparative study of carrier-free 67Ga-citrate uptake by Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in the presence of lactoferrin, transferrin and ferritin has demonstrated that lactoferrin considerably increases the uptake of 67Ga, and that this increase seems to be determined by its iron-load. The other iron-binding proteins assayed have a null or negative effect. Their behavior in the presence of sodium citrate supports the concept of lactoferrin-binding by the cells as responsible for the uptake. The different behavior of 67Ga-citrate iron-binding protein complexes appears to support this hypothesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007781 Lactoferrin An iron-binding protein that was originally characterized as a milk protein. It is widely distributed in secretory fluids and is found in the neutrophilic granules of LEUKOCYTES. The N-terminal part of lactoferrin possesses a serine protease which functions to inactivate the TYPE III SECRETION SYSTEM used by bacteria to export virulence proteins for host cell invasion. Lactotransferrin
D007782 Lactoglobulins Globulins of milk obtained from the WHEY. Lactoglobulin,beta-Lactoglobulin,beta-Lactoglobulin A,beta-Lactoglobulin B,beta-Lactoglobulin C,beta-Lactoglobulin E,beta-Lactoglobulin F,beta-Lactoglobulin G,beta-Lactoglobulin I,beta Lactoglobulin,beta Lactoglobulin A,beta Lactoglobulin B,beta Lactoglobulin C,beta Lactoglobulin E,beta Lactoglobulin F,beta Lactoglobulin G,beta Lactoglobulin I
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph. Gamma Camera Imaging,Radioisotope Scanning,Scanning, Radioisotope,Scintigraphy,Scintiphotography,Imaging, Gamma Camera,Imaging, Radionuclide
D002286 Carcinoma, Ehrlich Tumor A transplantable, poorly differentiated malignant tumor which appeared originally as a spontaneous breast carcinoma in a mouse. It grows in both solid and ascitic forms. Ehrlich Ascites Tumor,Ascites Tumor, Ehrlich,Ehrlich Tumor Carcinoma,Tumor, Ehrlich Ascites
D002951 Citrates Derivatives of CITRIC ACID.
D005293 Ferritins Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types. Basic Isoferritin,Ferritin,Isoferritin,Isoferritin, Basic
D005710 Gallium Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of gallium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Ga atoms with atomic weights 63-68, 70 and 72-76 are radioactive gallium isotopes. Radioisotopes, Gallium
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014168 Transferrin An iron-binding beta1-globulin that is synthesized in the LIVER and secreted into the blood. It plays a central role in the transport of IRON throughout the circulation. A variety of transferrin isoforms exist in humans, including some that are considered markers for specific disease states. Siderophilin,Isotransferrin,Monoferric Transferrins,Serotransferrin,Transferrin B,Transferrin C,beta 2-Transferrin,beta-1 Metal-Binding Globulin,tau-Transferrin,Globulin, beta-1 Metal-Binding,Metal-Binding Globulin, beta-1,Transferrins, Monoferric,beta 1 Metal Binding Globulin,beta 2 Transferrin,tau Transferrin
D019343 Citric Acid A key intermediate in metabolism. It is an acid compound found in citrus fruits. The salts of citric acid (citrates) can be used as anticoagulants due to their calcium chelating ability. Citrate,Anhydrous Citric Acid,Citric Acid Monohydrate,Citric Acid, Anhydrous,Uralyt U
