Abstract excerpt
In order to measure the effects of HFE (haemochromatosis) upon iron uptake, stable expression of wild-type and C282Y, H63D and S65C mutant HFE cDNA was established in HEK 293 cells. Control cells were transfected with empty vector. Expression of HFE mRNA and protein was detected in the cell lines transfected with HFE cDNA, but not in the control cell line. The ferritin concentration in wild-type cells cultured in...
