Red cell destruction by human monocytes--changes in intracellular ferritin concentration and phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Mononuclear cells from 5 normal men and 5 patients homozygous for hereditary haemochromatosis (HFE) have been incubated for 18 h with or without the addition of sheep red blood cells coated with antibody (SRBC). In the absence of SRBC mean H type ferritin concentrations were greater than L type (normals: mean L type 11.6 ng/10(6) cells, H type 15.5; patients, L type 23.5 ng/10(6) cells, H type 41.6). In the...
