Finnish Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, Helsinki, Finland
Br J Haematol 135:228-34. 2006..Complete iron binding with apotransferrin would apparently require very high apotransferrin doses...
Apotransferrin administration prevents growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis in serum of stem cell transplant patients by binding of free ironLeni von Bonsdorff
Finnish Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, Kivihaantie 7, 00310 Helsinki, Finland

Non-transferrin-bound iron in platelet concentrates promotes the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidisSanna Matinaho
Finnish Red Cross Blood Service, Helsinki, Finland
Transfusion 45:927-33. 2005..CONCLUSIONS: PCs stored in plasma or AS contain a low level of NTBI because of the displacement of iron from plasma-derived transferrin by citrate. NTBI in the PC medium supports the growth of S. epidermidis...
Inhibition of erythroid and granulocyte-macrophage colony formation by non-transferrin-bound iron in vitro: protective effect of apotransferrinEeva Juvonen
Department of Medicine, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland
Eur J Haematol 79:126-31. 2007..The aim of the study was to investigate in vitro the effect of free iron on erythroid and granulocyte-macrophage colony formation and the effect of binding free iron with apotransferrin...

Finnish Red Cross Blood Service, Helsinki
Transfusion 45:1768-73. 2005..To achieve the same beneficial effect in blood banking, other more practical ways to bind NTBI in a harmless form should be developed...
Identification of alpha-1 acid glycoprotein as a lysophospholipid binding protein: a complementary role to albumin in the scavenging of lysophosphatidylcholinePauli J Ojala
Finnish Red Cross Blood Service, Kivihaantie 7, FI 00310 Helsinki, Finland
Biochemistry 45:14021-31. 2006..The results suggest that AGP complements albumin as a lysophospholipid scavenging protein, particularly in inflammatory conditions when the capacity of albumin to sequester LPC becomes impaired...
