Allele frequencies for human transferrin (TF) subtypes were determined using serum samples from Japanese subjects living in Fukui prefecture, Japan, and compared with other Japanese populations using isoelectric focusing (IEF) and immunoblotting. The application of IEF revealed considerable heter...
