Notes:
The uptake and binding of 59Fe, 67Ga and 239Pu complexed with citrate of transferrin (Tf) and of 125I-labelled Fe-Tf by human lymphoblasts (WI-L2 cells) have been studied. Uptake kinetics of 59Fe-Tf and [125I]-Tf point to internalization by receptor mediated endocytosis. 67Ga binding and uptake is always less. This may be explained by a lower affinity of Ga-complexes for the cell surface. Factors which influence Fe uptake have a similar effect on Ga. 239Pu uptake and binding, however, are different, especially in that Tf does not stimulate 239Pu uptake and may actually decrease it.
